This book offers a rare glimpse into the tragic story of Ben Rathbun, a prominent 19th Century Buffalo builder whose career was brought down by a scandal involving the forgery of promissory notes. Rathbun personally recounts his tale in this book written by hand while he was imprisoned in 1838. The author provides a vivid account of how his business and personal life were impacted by his brother Lyman's actions, while also meditating on his own role in the affair.

It also offers a unique perspective on the dynamics of family, loyalty, and ethics during this transformative period in American history.
