by Buckner F. Melton, Jr.

"What an adventure! Neglected by scholars until now, here is the story of the first United States Senator ever to face criminal charges by his colleagues, accused of buckaneering, inciting Indians to war, and other offenses. Professor Melton places this fascinating story in the context of the geopolitics of the late 18th century and the political conflicts of American's early national period. Rich in scholarship and erudition, and written with an elegance that would grace a work of fiction, this is a consistently engrossing account of a conspiracy case in high circles and the influence of its disposition upon later impeachments of jurists, members of Congress, and Presidents of the United States."
