About This Item
New York: Crown Publishers, 2000. First Edition. Fine in red and cream paper covered boards with copper colored text stamping on the spine. In a fine dust jacket with the price intact on the front flap. 333 pages including an index, text and illustrated with maps. The author, a native of Montana, examines the events following the Louisiana Purchase and the treacherous plot which Aaron Burr hatched with General James Wilkerson to take over control of the Louisiana Territory as well as Mexico. The flow of the book provides a matching timeline narrative of the events occurring during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the two Pike expeditions, the treachery of Burr, the double dealing of Wilkerson and the inaction by Jefferson to deal with the Burr embarrassment.
