This famous duel is well known, but you have added some lesser known details as usual, Tara. Duels seem so barbaric and uncivilized. Was the practice a carryover from the British culture? In any case, it cost one man his life and the other his reputation and evidently his life as well while living in pain for years. It will be interesting to read the rest of the story. You’re so good at holding our interest and leaving us hanging in suspense. 😁
Yikes. It's difficult to fathom the dueling scenario you described Tara. It took more than determination to stand and let another man shoot you before you could shoot.
I am very glad that the practice of settling disputes is handled differently today. Thank you Tara.
Wow. An incredible story....Thank you Tara. I cannot fathom the mentality of a dual. Standing with honor, as a target waiting to be shot. Is that courage? Or idiocy?
He was an interesting fellow to study. Surprisingly he became President for some of these tails. Thanks for another piece of his journey through life Tara. 🙏❤️💪🇺🇲

Thank you, Tara, for giving us the details of this (in)famous duel!
I did not realize that Jackson had been hit that seriously but he did survive!
Thank you, Tara Ross, for some interesting details about Jackson-before-New Orleans.
Very interesting. I never knew all the rules for a duel. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I believe this wound contributed to his death, though it was many years later.
Men were tough, brave and somewhat crazy back then. Even after dueling was outlawed many men still defended their honor that way. Great story!
Jackson as the original Bull Moose?
He should have had a thick wad of notes shoved in his breast pocket!
