After Sunday's highly orchestrated event, Douglas Hamilton and Antonio Burr and their families headed to Hamilton Park where two new plaques honoring Burr and Hamilton were to be dedicated.

I love that they are pointing out that the event was "highly orchestrated".

Had they not told me I would have assumed that a descendant of Burr, and a descendant of Hamilton, who happened to be dressed in period costumes, and happened to be carrying replicas of dueling pistols, happened to end up at the same place on the 200th anniversary of the duel, one by rowboat, and, on a whim, decided to reenact the duel.
