Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Little Burr, the Warwick of America: A Tale of the Old Revolutionary Days In the preface to "Blennerhassett," I said: "For a hundred years one of the most remarkable of Americans has borne a weight of obloquy and calumny such as has been heaped upon no other man." Since writing the above, I have found so much in print, and in the hundreds of letters received from all parts of the country containing corroborative evidence, that I consider my statement so fully fortified that it may now be received as incontestable. To put my declaration in more homely, but explicit terms - for a hundred years the newspaper writers, biographers, and historians have made continual attacks upon the character of Aaron Burr; a few of the statements were literally true, some of them contained a slight admixture of truth, but the great majority were completely destitute of veracity, fabricated with unworthy motives, and passed from mouth to mouth, from hand to hand, from newspaper to newspaper, from magazine to magazine, from book to book - and all because there was no one to defend the memory of the dead from unjust aspersions and acrimonious attacks.
