I read both Burr books by Lomask as they came out.
I even exchanged letters with Lomask. A brother
of an ancestor of mine was stranded in Louisiana
after that misadventure. He was further damaged
by being rejected by his father-in-law who he had
introduced to Burr and who invested in the fiasco.
As Burr himself stated, people who came in contact
with him were often less the better for it. The
victim in this case was a distant relation to
Burr, as I am (yet more distant). Burr is tough
to judge but Jefferson's behaviour makes him a
more sympathetic figure.
