Abstract

In 2015, fueled by a wildly successful Broadway musical produced 211 years after his death, Alexander Hamilton is having a revival. This provides an appropriate moment to look back at the duel between Hamilton (former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury) and Aaron Burr (vice-president of the United States), and to share several documents from that extraordinary event.
