On the Trail of the Treasonous

By Gerald Therrien

Each Saturday, I'll share one chapter from my coming book, The Unveiling of Canadian History, volume 5, On the Trail of the Treasonous, 1804 - 1811, about the Aaron Burr conspiracy. And occasional Blip Reports on curious stories that I find.

Looks at an interesting moment in history that should be better understood, from an interesting perspective. And there's obvious resonance with the present.
