"As
the sun rises on a July morning in 1804, two men stand ten paces apart
on a New Jersey cliffside. One is Alexander Hamilton, a signer of
the Constitution. The other is Aaron Burr, the vice president of
the United States. They are risking arrest -- and their lives --
to fight an illegal pistol duel."
Can you imagine it? Two very important men setting out to kill each other! What could possibly have lead up to that moment? |
