The first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton was shot and mortally wounded in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr on this day in history, July 11, 1804.
The feud culminated in a request from Burr for a duel. What happened during the duel itself is murky. Hamilton's own writings prior to the duel suggested he would miss Burr on purpose. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"Thus, sir," Burr wrote to Hamilton, "you have invited the course I am about to pursue, and now your silence impose it upon me."
