DOCTOR

SCENE 1

NARRATOR: Fort Massac is a small yet strategic United States Army outpost that stands on the muddy banks of the lower Mississippi River. In this year of 1805, its officers and men are lonely and none too happy about it. But on this particular day the outpost is buzzing with excitement. A famous guest has come to visit—Aaron Burr! Aaron Burr, former Vice-President of the United States, rabid Federalist, master politician, smooth-tongued orator; Aaron Burr, the man who had killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. The Colonel, disappointed that Mr. Burr’s visit will be a brief one, attempts to prolong his stay.

COLONEL (Graciously): Are you sure I can’t get you to change your mind, Mr. Burr? You’re welcome to remain here as long as you wish.
