Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "An American Patrician, or The Story of Aaron Burr" by Alfred Henry Lewis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and character of Aaron Burr, a prominent figure in early American history, exploring his ambitions, relationships, and the societal context of his time. In this opening portion, we are introduced to a young Aaron Burr, who displays a complex mix of charm, egotism, and rebelliousness, while he grapples with the expectations placed upon him by figures like Reverend Dr. Bellamy. At the start of the narrative, the focus is on Dr. Bellamy and his earnest concerns for Burr, as he attempts to guide him towards a life of ministry, highlighting Burr's apparent disinterest in the pulpit and his ambition for a life filled with adventure and military glory. Bursting with self-confidence and perceived superiority, Burr firmly rejects this path, favoring the pursuit of law and martial engagement instead. The chapter unfolds with Burr's sharp dialogue, demonstrating his sharp wit and fervent desire for individual meaning and power, ultimately setting the stage for his development and tragic trajectory in the political landscape of his time.
