More photos from the Hamilton-Burr duel
Kudos to everybody involved in yesterday's re-enactment of the historic duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, especially the two men who portrayed their founding forbears.
Douglas Hamilton of Columbus, Ohio, played his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, while Antonio Burr, a descendent of Aaron Burr's first cousin, portrayed the then-Vice President of the United States. New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey and Rep. Bob Menendez were among the contemporary politicians in attendance. Didn't manage to get a photo of Menendez.
Here's Hamilton:
