Jsckson's Duel with Dickinson, the Lawyer

The following is General Jackson's own
account of tie duel told TO General Eta
ton:
Jackson settled at Nashville between the
years 1890 and l8o0,and began the pr"c
lice of law. Dickinson was already there
following the same profession. He was
great duellist, having killed several in duels
and almost certain to kill at the first fire.
His mode firing was uncommon. Instead
Of raising bis pistol from bis side to fire ri
the word, he would bring 1t down from a
bove until he got it to the proper level and
then fire. All Of the merchants in Nash
Vile badDickinson retained in their behalf
and he being the only lawyer there until
jackson came, no redress could be obtained
by the opposite side. General Jackson re-
fused to be retained by these merchants IL
exclusion of all other parties. The conse
ouence was that he issued sixty writs t.
the first term of the court at Nashville.
He issued writs against the merchants who
had until then gone scot free. This irfi
tated them, and they being DESTROYS of get
ting General Jackson out OF the way, inCi
ted Dickinson to provoke duel. He b :
gan by acting on trials, offensive to the
General.
He demonstrated with Dickinson, and
plainly .old him that he would not submit
10 such srespectful treatment.
Dickinson persisted, and General Jack
challenged him. The time and place for
the combat were fixed upon, and the new W.
spread for miles around. There were al
least 1000 persons present, and bets We re
freely made as if it were horse raee.-
Dickinson himself bet hat he would xiii
jackson at the frs ire.
Dickinson fired first, and, lis ball hit
Jackson on the right pap and peeled bis
breast He had calious lump there du
ring the rest of his life. As soon as the
smoke of Dickinson's pistol blew away, ne
sa,- General Jackson still standing, and
exclaimed, Haven't | killed the damned
rascal yet:" jackson told General Eaton
that until then he meant to give him his
life, bni ON bearing these words, he raised
his pistol, and killed Dickinson instantly.
