Title: A Review of the Opinion of Judge Cowen, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, in the Case of Alexander McLeod. By a Citizen of New York.
Author: [Tallmadge, Daniel B.]
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: octavo, 28 page pamphlet, ex-library, handstamp on title page, lacking wrappers, removed from bound volume of pamphlets, else a good, clean copy. "In 1837 an attempted insurrection in Canada was put down, and the group fled to an American island in the Niagra River. A small steamer, the Caroline, brought provisions to them, and the British sent out a force to destroy it, which they did, killing Amos Durfee in the effort. The incident led to a controversy between the United States and England. McLeod, while in Buffalo, boasted of being Durfee's killer. He was arrested and charged by New York state with the murder. The United States government tried to prevent the trial, and failing, the United States Attorney successfully defended McLeod, who probably had no part in the event." – see McDade, Annals of Murder, 660
