be. in all truth, A Man Without Country
Philip Nolan was as fine young officer as
there was in the Legion of the West" as the
Western division of our Army was then called.
When Aaron Burr made his first dashing
expedition down to New Orleans in 1905, he
met, as the Devil would have it, this gay,
dashing, bright young fellow.
Burr marked him, talked to him, walked
with him, took him day or two's voyage in
his fat-boat, and, in short, fascinated him.
For the next year, barrack-life was very tame
to Nolan. He occasionally availed himself of
the permission the great man had given him
to write to him. Long, high-worded letters
the poor boy wrote and rewrote and copied.
But never line did he have in reply.
IHEN one day in 1906 Burr came down the
river as disguised conqueror, and it was
rumored that he had an army behind him and
an empire before him. 1t was great day to
poor Nolan Burr had not been at the fort an
hour before he sent for him. BY the time their
talk was over, Nolan was enlisted in Burr's
conspiracy body and soul.
What Burr meant to do know no more

than you, dear reader Some say that he
intended to wrest the Louisiana territory from
Spain and set it up as an independent nation
with himself as king Another rumor had him
planning to conquer Mexico = and make
himself an emperor. But when these whispers
were at last brought to President Jefferson,
and Burr was tried for treason in Richmond
none of the charges could be proved against
him. To this day his great design remains
mystery.
But the trial created uneasiness within the
Army. Suspicion fastened on colonies, majors
and lesser fry with whom Burr had been seen
in conversation, and at last extended to little
Nolan, against whom, Heaven knows, there
was evidence enough.
The courts dragged on. The big flies
escaped = rightly for all know. Nolan was
proved guilty by military court-martial. Yet
you and would never have heard of him but
that, when the president of the court asked
him whether he wished to say anything to
show that he had always been faithful to the
United States, he cried out in fit of frenzy:
Damn the United States! l wish l may
never hear of the United States again!"
