Summary:
"Aaron Burr--Revolutionary War hero, third vice president of the United States and a controversial figure of the early republic--was tried and acquitted of treason charges in 1807, and thereafter departed for self-imposed exile in Europe, his political career in ruins. Burr's Paris journal is a rare item, with only 250 unexpurgated copies printed in 1903"-- Provided by publisher.
