This first volume of the biography sets the stage for the rest of Burr's life, and provides a fascinating glimpse into one of America's most enigmatic figures.1925. Volume 1 of 2. This work is a biography written, in large part, from original and hitherto unused material. There is in history but one Aaron Burr. He was at once man-of-the-world, student, madman, schemer, diplomat, leader. The authors trust that the world, so long kept in ignorance of Burr's real character, shall come to see him in a new light and appreciate him for what he was - nothing more, nothing less. He would have asked no higher favor than a fair appraisal, nor shall those who have striven to strip away the false and to affirm the truth touching his life and its place in history. Illustrated.
