[edit] Burr-Hamilton duel

Could you provide sources for your recent additions to the article, using the current <ref> system? Otherwise your "improvements" are just part of the original research gunk that has taken over the article as of late, which I will eventually get around to pruning.

The information should have all been entered according to the <ref> system. However, if you want the references yourself, I have the information for you here:

  • http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/B/hamilton/hamil43.htm (copy of the original statement to the press, specifically laying out the rules of the engagement, AND clearly contradiction the article's asertion that Hamilton fired first- the statement itself shows that the seconds disagree on that point)
  • Thomas H. Ogden, "On Projective Identifications," in International Journal of Psychoanalysis (1979), 60, 357. Cf. Rogow, A Fatal Friendship, 327, note 29. (Use of spectacles and sighting down the barrel by Hamilton. Mentioned by Van Ness, although I haven't been able to find the original statement)

I am unfamiliar and relatively new to editing Wikipedia, so any help you could give me would be greatly appreceated. Thanks! btswanfury
