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

"Aaron Burr was an enigma even in his own day. Founding Father and vice president, he engaged in a duel with Alexander Hamilton, resulting in a murder indictment that effectively ended his legal career. And when he turned his attention to entrepreneurial activities on the frontier he was suspected of empire building - and worse." "In the first book dedicated to this important case, Peter Charles Hoffer unveils a cast of characters ensnared by politics and law at the highest levels of government, including President Thomas Jefferson - one of Burr's bitterest enemies - and Chief Justice John Marshall, no fan of either Burr or Jefferson. Hoffer recounts how Jefferson's prosecutors argued that the mere act of discussing an "overt Act of War" - the constitution's definition of treason - was tantamount to committing the act. Marshall, however, ruled that without the overt act, no treasonable action had occurred and neither discussion nor conspiracy could be prosecuted. Subsequent attempts to convict Burr on violations of the Neutrality Act failed as well."--BOOK JACKET.
