Hamilton was shot in his duel with Aaron Burr in Weehawken, New Jersey. This was just across the Hudson River from New York City. The dueling place was a level spot on the hillside above the River, where New Yorkers went to fight duels to avoid being charged with the crime of dueling in New York. Hamilton lived for a day and a half after being shot. He was rowed back across the River and taken to his home in New York City, where he died.
