The Declaration of Independence, A Masterpiece: But How It Got Mutilated!

This version of The Declaration of Independence, A Masterpiece: But How It Got Mutilated! is the original 1881 edition in which William Henry Burr provides evidence that the original draft of The Declaration of Independence was much better than the final draft which was put together by Thomas Jefferson. Burr also contends that the original draft was penned by Thomas Paine and not Thomas Jefferson.
