The Burr Wilkinson Conspiracy

Zebulun Pike is most famous for his exploration of the west, but before we go there, we are going to follow the man on his first mission. Pike's mission was to head up the Mississippi River; along the way he was to negotiate treaties with the Indians and try and broker peace between war and tribes. The Burr Wilkinson conspiracy is fascinating, but I'm not going to get too much into it here. Just know that it is out there, and we will come back to it. And this allows us to finally get back to Zebul un Pike.
