Francisco de Miranda hoped to become the George Washington of South America. This led him to assemble a group of mercenaries that included William S. Smith for an unsuccessful invasion of Venezuela, a violation of United States law. Colonel Smith was the son-in-law of John Adams. Samuel G. Ogden was a merchant who had furnished ships and supplies for the expedition. The counsel for the defense attempted to show that Smith and Ogden, though they had taken part in the affair, had not actually begun it, that members of the government, including even Thomas Jefferson, were cognizant of Miranda's plans, and that Spain and the United States were on the brink of war at the time of the expedition. Smith and Ogden were acquitted. They attracted great public sympathy because they were seen as heroes in a noble war against Spanish tyranny. This copy appears to have been owned by a member of the Bruyn family, influential New Yorkers from Ulster County. Many of the Bryuns served in the state assembly.
