Good introduction to Burr,
By Jacob Brown (Portland OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aaron Burr: A Biography Compiled from Rare, & in Many Cases Unpublished, Sources, Set (Library Binding)
This was my introduction to Burr beyond what I learned in history class. It tries to be even-handed and not either putting Burr in a favorable light or the negative light he is usually cast in. It focuses heavily on his childhood, his relationship with his daughter and his term as vice-president. It glosses over the deul, and everything that happens after his vice-presidency including the Mexico fiasco and the trial for treason, but overall a good book. In fact, it ends with him getting a standing ovation from the senate at the end of his term. This book caused me to look at other Burr books, includiing Burr by Gore Vidal.
