Book excerpt: Aaron Burr was one of the most astounding and perplexing men in American history. A man who had lost the Presidency of the United States to Thomas Jefferson by only one vote in the House of Representatives (the Electoral College vote had been even), and who had himself been Vice President, he nevertheless became notorious overnight by killing Alexander Hamilton in their famous New Jersey duel. But he went further, Burr, ever restless, ventured into the Midwest and West, engaging in "strange doings" that included secret meetings on Blennerhassett Island and efforts to raise a private militia. Was he really anxious to establish himself as Emperor of Mexico? What were the motives and the ambitions of this curious and powerful man? Donald Barr Chidsey, lauded for his many vivid on-the-scene histories, dramatically brings to life all the circumstances surrounding the duel with Hamilton; he takes us behind the scenes as Burr plots with Harman Blennerhassett, General James Wilkinson, and other leading figures of the day; he shows us Burr's trip south with his small "army" and the eventual capture and arraignment of the former Vice President. Then we see the great Virginia trial at which Burr was charged with conspiracy (a trial that included the great lawyer William Wirt and Chief Justice John Marshall, with Jefferson himself "in the wings"), and finally the last--and often pathetic--years, in Europe and New York, of this dynamic and fascinating man.--Jacket flap

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When President Jefferson charged that Aaron Burr was a traitor, the accusation was believed by most Americans. Although the President failed to furnish evidence that Burr was attempting to disrupt the Union, his charges took such deep root in the public mind that they still persist, despite the fact that there were seven prosecutions and seven failures to convict. Nevertheless, even today, in the public mind Burr remains condemned as a villain," writes Oliver Perry Sturm. "Historians have endeavored always to place upon Burr the entire blame of the duel [with Alexander Hamilton] and unfortunate blot on the country's history, and as a sequence a number of his political enemies afterward succeeded in having him arrested on the charge of treason, which was never proven... To me, Burr is the most maligned man in our history, and yet one of the most brilliant." The Conspiracy Against Aaron Burr presents Sturm's argument, first put forth in 1909, under the fresh light of a new era.

The Trial at Richmond. MARCH -5, 1807, surrounded by a guard of six men under Nicholas Perkins, who had been instrumental in his interception, Burr set out from Fort Stoddert on the journey of a thousand miles to Washington. Twenty-one days later the prisoner was lodged in the Eagle Tavern, Richmond, whither he had been directed by order of the Executive. The day following he wrote his daughter: "It seems that here the business is to be tried and concluded. I am to be surrendered to the civil authority to-morrow, when the question of bail is to be determined. In the meantime I remain at the Eagle Tavern." March 30th, in a small room of the Tavern, Burr came up for an examination before Chief-Justice Marshall, in whose district the alleged crime, or crimes, had been committed. George Hay, district-attorney for the United States, moved for a commitment on charges of misdemeanor and treason. Two days of argument followed; then the Chief-Justice delivered his opinion: "The fact to be proved in this case is an act of public notoriety. It must exist in the view of the world, or it cannot exist at all. The assembling of forces to levy war is a visible transaction, and numbers must witness it. It is, therefore, capable of proof; and when time to collect this proof has been given, it ought to be adduced, or suspicion becomes ground too weak to stand upon. . . . If in November or December last, a body of troops had been assembled on the Ohio, it is impossible to suppose that affidavits establishing the fact could not have been obtained by the last of March. . . . On the evidence furnished by this very transaction of the attachment felt by our Western for their Eastern brethren, we justly felicitate ourselves. How inconsistent with...
