The Life of Harman Blennerhassett by William H. Safford is a non-fiction book that provides an authentic narrative of the Burr Expedition. The book is a biography of Harman Blennerhassett, an Irish aristocrat who moved to America in the late 18th century and settled on an island in the Ohio River. Blennerhassett became involved with Aaron Burr, the former Vice President of the United States, and was accused of conspiring with him to establish an independent nation in the western territories. The book covers Blennerhassett's life from his childhood in Ireland to his arrival in America, his marriage to Margaret Agnew, and his involvement in the Burr Expedition. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the expedition, including Burr's failed attempt to win the presidency and his subsequent plan to create a new nation in the west. The book also includes descriptions of the various characters involved in the expedition, including Burr himself, General James Wilkinson, and other prominent figures of the time. The author examines the political and social climate of the era and the impact that the Burr Expedition had on American history. Overall, The Life of Harman Blennerhassett is a well-researched and comprehensive account of one of the most intriguing episodes in American history. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who was both a victim and a participant in a controversial and ultimately doomed venture.And Containing Many Additional Facts Not Heretofore Published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
