        @BeschlossDC @michaelbroach Charles Dickinson first accused Jackson of cheating on a horse bet, but insulting Rachel would've been enough.

        @BeschlossDC He would let the other shoot first, so as to steady his own aim. Difficult to appreciate how hard people of the frontier were.

        @BeschlossDC If people think the press and politics are vicious today, they should look at the shots taken at Rachel Jackson.
