“In 1796, Blennerhasset arrived in America from England, and settled on an island in the Ohio river, below Parkersburgh, where he built an elegant residence, furnished with taste and elegance. [Aaron] Burr was his guest in 1805, and succeeded in involving him in his treasonable schemes. He invested largely in boats, provisions, arms and ammunition, left his home and friends, and went to Kentucky. Warned of Burr’s real designs, he returned to his home, greatly disheartened, but, through Burr’s solicitations, and the persuasions of his wife, he persisted. His property was seized and sold, and he was prosecuted as an accomplice of Burr, but was discharged, broken in mind, and bankrupt. He was subsequently a cotton planter, removed to Montreal, in 1819, and practiced law, but in 1822, removed to the West Indies, and died in 1831. For a critical review of this work, see North American Review, Vol. 79, page 297.”
– Peter G. Thomson, A Bibliography of the State of Ohio (1880)
