Hero of Weehawken: The Aaron Burr Conspiracy 1805-1807

Historic Gaming #7 Hero of Weehawken is a solitaire game in which the player takes the role of President Thomas Jefferson at a dangerous moment in the history of the United States. Former Vice President Aaron Burr is somewhere out west, and rumors abound that he is threatening the nation with plans for some sort of ill-advised military adventure that could bring America to war with Spain, or even a direct act of treason against the United States! To forestall this disaster, you must first determine Burr’s real plans, then find and arrest him before he executes his plan; and, finally, gather sufficient evidence to convict Burr at trial. If your agents arrest him too soon, you will not have gathered enough evidence or figured out what to charge him with. If you wait too long, however, you may be too late to stop his nefarious plans. Do you have what it takes to gather the right information in time? Be the judge and become the Hero of Weehawken!
