For all our Hamilton fans, our condolences.

Alexander Hamilton vs. Aaron Burr As political rivals, Hamilton and Burr began a bitter exchange of insults, leading to a duel in 1804 that resulted in Hamilton's death. Learn about the ideas that drove Hamilton and Burr to violence in this podcast from HowStuffWorks.com.

Reminder:
The tour of the Ancient Section of the Nelson begins at 10:15 for those of you attending.

Please email Dr. Jones if you are interested in this amazing tour!
