Burr

[edit]
   One of Burr's homes, the Morris-Jumel Mansion in Manhattan, is now open to the public. 

In Columbia University folklore, Burr is often portrayed as the epitome of evil, and constant references are made to him as the cause for any student's troubles.


Burr appears as a character epitomizing worldly sophistication in Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1859 historical romance The Minister's Wooing.

Edward Everett Hale's 1863 story The Man Without a Country is about a fictional co-conspirator of Burr's, who is exiled for his crimes.

"The Aaron Burr Story", an episode in the second season (1965) of the Disney television series Daniel Boone, starred Leif Erickson as ex-Vice President Aaron Burr attempting to set up an army to take over the western states. In the show, Burr's attempt to hire one of Daniel Boone's young impressionable friends as a wilderness guide is ultimately thwarted by Daniel when a proclamation is published for Burr's arrest for treason against the United States.

The historical novel Burr, written in 1973, is the first (in historical chronology) volume in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series.

In the comic book The Flash, a 1975 backup story featuring Green Lantern stars Burr. The Flash vol. 26, #231, January/February 1975. "The Man of Destiny," written by Dennis O'Neil and drawn by Dick Dillin, reveals that Burr was recruited by aliens to act as a leader for an interplanetary society in chaos. (The alliance cloned Burr, sending the clone back to earth to duel with Hamilton and live out of the rest of "Burr"'s life on earth).

In Michael Kurland's "The Whenabouts of Burr" (DAW, 1975) [1] the protagonists chase across various alternate universes, trying to recover the Constitution of the United States, which has been stolen and replaced by an alternate signed by Aaron Burr instead of Alexander Hamilton.

In the television series M*A*S*H (1972-1983), there is an episode where Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre come off surgery, and tell Radar O'Reilly that they shouldn't be working on a holiday (Aaron Burr's birthday). Radar asks, "Who's Aaron Burr?" Hawkeye responds by stating (incorrectly), "He's the guy who shot John Wilkes Booth."

A famous 1993 "Got Milk?" commercial directed by Michael Bay features a historian obsessed with the study of Hamilton—he owns the guns and the bullet from the duel. He is called by a radio station and offered a prize if he can name the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, but he has peanut butter in his mouth and is out of milk, and cannot manage to say "Aaron Burr" clearly enough to be heard before his time runs out.

In Alexander C. Irvine's 2002 novel A Scattering of Jades, Burr takes part in a plot to bring an ancient Aztec deity into power, explaining his interest in Mexico.

In the 2005 Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg Saturday Night Live digital short "Lazy Sunday", Parnell raps "You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're droppin' Hamiltons," referring to spending ten dollar bills (which have Hamilton's portrait on them).

A boss in Super Mario Galaxy, Baron Brrr, is a reference to Aaron Burr.
