Fairdale, Texas

What began as a simple book describing the pleasant, shared memories of cousins visiting grandparents in a long-gone rural community during the 1930s and 1940s soon included a mission to correct decades of widely-held misconceptions and errors concerning Vice-President Aaron Burr and Dr. Timothy Burr. Surprisingly, then, this book is a combination of nostalgic memories and, at the same time, an effort to "get the facts straight" about "the Burrs." Oftentimes we learn that life, seemingly simple, can also be amazingly complicated. This book captures the essence of one of those times.
