LucidElement Posted September 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2016 After reading an article out of the Intelligent Collector by Mr. O'Neal... he talks in depth about Hamilton and Burr... There is one question that caught my attention that he writes about that I would like to share with you guys and see what your responses would be. Their duel is still controversial and somewhat puzzling. Why would two prominent Americans end up early one morning in a situation where one would be killed and the political career of the other effectively ended? -Intelligent Collector -Mr. J.

Gee, I don't know given the that you have furnished I can only make a limited questimate.
