The third vice president of the United States, Aaron Burr, wrote "Memoirs of Aaron Burr" in two volumes. Burr's early life, his involvement in the American Revolution, and his political career leading up to the notorious duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804 are all covered in the book. Burr was intimately engaged in many of the significant events of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, giving the memoirs a unique viewpoint on American history. Burr was a very contentious character during his lifetime, and his legacy is still being disputed now, therefore his biography is divisive despite its heated subject matter. Overall, "Memoirs of Aaron Burr" is an insightful historical work that sheds light on the politics and way of life of early America as well as the life of one of its most enigmatic and fascinating figures.
