"The Most Famous Duel in American History"
The lives of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton are contrasted from their birth, childhood and adult life. Once their paths cross, Mr. Brown shares their intense interactions as they play major roles in the USA's beginnings. Unfortunately, their deep dislike in each other resulted in a duel which ultimately ends of their lives.
Teaching potential: compare/contrast/venn diagram; persuasive essay (with which individual does the reader sympathize)
*Highly recommend.
*Borrowed from the library.
