NJ - Weehawken: Hamilton Death Rock - a photo on Flickriver

            The Hamilton death rock in Weehawken, New Jersey, marks the site of the infamous duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr on July 11, 1804.  The duel, which resulted in the death of Hamilton, the former Secretary of the Treasury and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, took place on this ledge above the Hudson River, which was a popular dueling ground at the time due to its secluded location.

The “death rock” is traditionally identified as the spot where Hamilton fell after being shot by Burr. Today, the area is part of Hamilton Park where a plaque a sculptural bust of Alexander Hamilton, designed by sculptor John Rapetti, was dedicated on July 13, 1935, marking the 131st anniversary of the Fatal duel.
