[quote=Anonymous]Aaron Burr was an interesting, complicated guy. His grandfather was Jonathan Edwards, which is a tough legacy to saddle any kid with. In some ways, he was more modern than others of his generation. As a PP above pointed out, he gave his daughter an excellent, rigorous education that was unusual for girls at that time. He also openly campaigned for office in a way that was considered unseemly at the time but would be normal to us. He deeply loved his first wife, who was married to a British officer when they met, but he also slept around. A lot. He was shattered when she died. The whole Burr conspiracy out west was weird, and historians don't entirely agree about Burr's intentions. Forgotten Founder is a pretty good biography of Burr. It's well researched, even if I don't agree with all of the author's conclusions.[/quote]
