Andrew Jackson - 7th President, Military Hero and Duelist?!
Back in 1806, Charles Dickinson , a renowned duelist met his fate when he went 10 paces against Andrew Jackson. Charles wounded Jackson, but Jackson survived, leveling his pistol and killing Charles. Up until now, the grave site of Charles has not been cleary identified, but Archaeologist Dan Allen believes he has found the location in Nashville. If confirmed, this would put to the end to the mystery of Charles Dickinson's final resting place (even if his remains have vanished...)
