Abolitionist, proto-feminist, friend to such Indian leaders as Joseph Brant, Burr was personally acquainted with a wider range of Americans, and of the American continent, than any other Founder except George Washington. He contested for power with Hamilton and then with Jefferson on a continental scale. The book does not sentimentalize any of its three protagonists, neither does it derogate their extraordinary qualities. They were all great men, all flawed, and all three failed to achieveCharacterPolitical aspectsUnited StatesCase studiesReputation (Law)United StatesCase studiesStatesmenUnited StatesBiographyStatesmenUnited StatesConduct of lifeUnited StatesPolitics and government1775-1783United StatesPolitics and government1783-1865CharacterPolitical aspectsReputation (Law)StatesmenStatesmenConduct of life.973.4/6/0922Kennedy Roger G1462225MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792260703321Burr, Hamilton, and Jefferson3671112UNINA
