        It was in the same location where Hamilton's son Philip had been killed three years before, and the same pistols were used

        Hamilton at least got a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike; Burr, ignominy.

        I don't know anything about this drawing, but I've seen it many times. Who drew it? Didn't the artist know Hamilton was shot in the abdomen?

        Thank you. The bullet went in Hamilton's abdomen. So I guess that forehead palm is him saying "I could have had a V8!" (Old TV commercial.)

        Thanx. It really is grotesque someone w/ Hamilton's intellect felt he had to show up for this stupid dueling shit. Y women know we're fools.

        Yeah. All genders, ethnic groups, creeds, every category of humanity has its own unique style of idiocy. Others then look at it and guffaw.
