| Summary |
"This annotated collection of original documents takes readers inside the historic rivalry that ended in America's most famous duel. The subject of a critically acclaimed biography and a sensational Broadway musical, the conflict between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr has long fascinated historians. This closely annotated volume of primary source documents offers a riveting account of the disastrous duel between these two early American statesmen. From the summer of 1804, we have the fiery correspondence between Hamilton and Burr, notes and accounts from their seconds-in-command, and other documents that provide an immediate sense of the personalities and times. The introduction and conclusion provide a concise and informative perspective on the parallel lives of Hamilton and Burr and of the duel's lasting impacts on American history."-- Provided by Freading. |
