18 men.
Well, Charles Dickinson is an extremely old relative of mine. Anyway, I don't know the cause but I do know the result: Andrew Jackson was saved from a bullet because of buttons on his coat, while Charles died from one of Andrew's bullets. Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson had a series of disagreements that ended in a duel between the two in May 1806. The final argument was over a horserace scheduled between Jackson's horse Truxton and a horse owned by Joseph Erwin named Ploughboy. Erwin was Dickinson's father-in-law. When Ploughboy was not able to run in the race, Erwin was supposed to pay Jackson a forfeit. There apparently was a disagreement between Jackson and Erwin over the amount of the forfeit. Dickinson heard rumors that Jackson and/or Jackson's friends were criticizing his father-in-law for not paying the forfeit properly. He put an ad in the Nashville newspaper calling Jackson various bad names. Jackson challenged Dickinson to a duel and Dickinson accepted. The two men met in Kentucky for the duel (dueling was outlawed in Tennessee) and Dickinson shot first hitting Jackson in the chest. Under the rules of duels, Dickinson had to stand still and allow Jackson to also take a shot. Jackson aimed and shot Dickinson in the chest. Dickinson died from blood loss. The doctors decided it would be too dangerous to remove the bullet and Jackson carried it for the rest of his life.
