Mariam and Wayne discuss the Code Duello and several nineteenth century Kentucky duels, including duels fought by Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and a pair of doctors from Transylvania University’s School of Medicine. They reference the book Famous Kentucky Duels by J. Winston Coleman, which is available for checkout: https://catalog.lexpublib.org/?section=resource&resourceid=2341267 and, because one can’t talk about duels without talking about this, they briefly reference both Alexander Hamilton and the musical Hamilton. The Hamilton soundtrack is also available for checkout: https://catalog.lexpublib.org/?section=resource&resourceid=7231007
