to move into the eastern part of the territory (the future state of Ohio) and form new towns, including Marietta, at the junction of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers.<\/p>\n<p>One of these new settlers was an Irish nobleman, Harman Blennerhassett, who built a fine estate on an island in the Ohio not far from Marietta.\u00a0 There he entertained the rich and famous, and that, folks, led to his downfall.<\/p>\n<p>Today we tell the story of Harmon Blennerhassett&#8217;s ill-fated venture with a former vice-president, Aaron Burr.<\/p>\n<p>You can subscribe to the Stories podcast at Apple
