Things I have learned about Aaron Burr today

selkiecomrade:

  • Post-duel, routinely referred to AH as “my friend Hamilton, who I shot”
  • Was awful with money because he would immediately give it all away
  • Nearly blew himself up trying to light his pipe with gunpowder
  • “Once, in the Boston Athenaeum, Burr paused to admire a bust of Hamilton. “There was the poetry,” he said, tracing creases in Hamilton’s face with his finger.”
