Excerpt from The True Aaron Burr: A Biographical Sketch

In later life Colonel Aaron Burr took into his law office several young men of brilliant parts whom he educated for the bar, and some of whom he adopted. To these young men who had his confidence he was fond of talking of the men and events of his career. Some of these men the writer was privileged to know, and to him as a collateral descendant of Colonel Burr and the historian of his family, they repeated his reminiscences and talked more freely of his plans and purposes as revealed by him than they would have done to a stranger, so that this little book, in so far as it relates to certain phases of Colonel Burr's career in controversy, may be said to have been inspired by that gentleman himself and to express his views in the historical controversy between himself and the American people - or rather between him and certain mendacious writers of history who, for the past fifty years, have left no depth of falsehood or slander unsounded in their effort to prove Aaron Burr a traitor and a murderer. The historic fact that after a trial lasting months, with the President of the United States personally directing it, and urging on his dogs of war, a prejudiced jury was compelled to declare the accused innocent of treason would have cleared most men - but it did not Aaron Burr; and why not? Because there were men, many men, interested in having him declared a traitor.

Colonel Burr trusted to the twentieth century to vindicate him, and certain signs of the times indicate that his trust was not in vain.
