We talk really badly about Aaron Burr sometimes and, yeah, he deserves it. But he doesn't seem to be nearly as bad of a guy as James Wilkinson!
Join us as we discuss...
- Wilkinson's uncanny ability to move up through military ranks,
- how the Spanish paid Wilkinson to promote their interests,
- the betrayal of the Spanish by Wilkinson,
- an unlikely friendship and partnership between Burr and Wilkinson,
- Wilkinson's many blunders and trials,
- and much more!
