Summary "Shout Treason: The Trial of Aaron Burr" by Francis F. Beirne is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the infamous trial of Aaron Burr, a former Vice-President of the United States, who faced charges of treason and high misdemeanor in 1807. Through a detailed narrative, the text explores Burr’s complex life, his political ambitions, and the high-stakes drama surrounding the trial, which became one of the most significant events in early American legal history. The opening of the book introduces readers to the intricate backdrop against which the trial takes place. Burr arrives in Richmond, Virginia, as a prisoner, having traveled from Alabama under military guard. The narrative touches upon his distinguished lineage, early life, and military service, setting the stage for the sensational trial that followed his alleged activities linked to a conspiracy against the United States. It foreshadows the fierce legal and political battles involving prominent figures of the time, including Chief Justice John Marshall and President Thomas Jefferson, revealing a period marked by political intrigue and national tensions.
