Trinity: The Burrs versus Alexander Hamilton and the United States
of America will be the first book to draw on unreported documents
and genealogical information to reveal an unprecedented look into
the relationships of Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, Trinity Church
Corporation and the Loyalists of Manhattan Island. Author Alan J.
Clark shows in new perspective the battles and intrigues leading
beyond the American Revolutionary War. With the melding of
genealogy and timeline analysis Clark examines some of the
intriguing ciphered letters of Aaron Burr to his daughter
Theodosia, and looks again at Burr's curious and complex war time
exploits to determine where his Loyalist tendencies actually began.
Clark further examines the land leases then traded prior, during,
and after the war as speculation, or possibly as rewards from the
English Crown for services performed in its favor in the colonies
primarily through the Corporation of Trinity Church. The economics
of early Manhattan and the Atlantic colonies were bolstered by the
complex and secular behavior of the Corporation of Trinity Church
acting as land bank for the Loyalists to the Throne of England.
Clark appears to fill in the gaps in many recently published tomes
by delving deeper into the actions of Burr and Hamilton, examining
their extensive familial connections and behaviors to arrive at a
complex web of intricacy bringing to life American History at its
most personal level. This book does not reiterate the well worn
paths of American History. Instead, it brings a crisp new approach
that makes sense of seemingly insignificant, disjointed and
inconsistent stories of the early history of our country.
