http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19925656

"A defence of the late Col. George Nicholas of Kentucky," a document in defense of treason accusations against him for his association in land speculations and his involvement in the Spanish Conspiracy in 1797. The charges stated that he contemplated the separation of the then Western states from the Eastern states, either to form a distinct government or subject them to Spanish dominion, and that he was to be rewarded by Spain. The document was written after the death of Nicholas because he was unable to defend himself. Author unknown.
