This historical novel is the first (in historical order) in the author's seven volume Narratives of Empire series of historical novels, published over the years 1967 - 2000, and which also includes Lincoln, 1876, Empire, Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and The Golden Age. Set in the years 1833 to 1840 (Aaron Burr died in 1836) the outer story is narrated by a fictional law clerk in the law offices of Aaron Burr. The inner story is a fictional memoir of Burr retelling his life, and, controversially, commenting negatively on Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and others. Burr was the third Vice-President of the United States, but he is remembered today for the 1804 duel in which he killed Alexander Hamilton. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1974.
