Annotations on Aaron Burr

These are annotations for the eighteenth chapter of the book Impossible Histories, which you can acquire just about anywhere, including here or your local library. No pressure on that acquisition, but these notes might make more sense with the book in hand.

p. 342
•epigraph: The epigraph here was to be:

Oh, Aaron Burr, what hast thou done?
Thou hast shooted dead great Hamilton.
You got behind a bunch of thistle
And shot him dead with a big hoss-pistol.
§anon., trad.

I didn’t always cite my epigraphs tho...
