Island Romance and Burr Treason on Blennerhassett Isle
The article recalls the Blennerhassett Island saga in Marietta and Harman Blennerhassett's glamorously cultured life, the Burr expedition, and its downfall. It traces Burr's Westward intrigues, the island mansion, lavish hospitality, and the 1806 scheme to build a Mexican empire, ending with treason trials, debts, and the current use of the island as a summer picnic ground.
