The thread for odd historical trivia

Who knew that Abraham Lincoln was involved in a duel?

That's probably where I picked it up. Went to verify it elsewhere.

There used to be a really cool blog on the Smithsonian magazine website called Past Imperfect that had a lot of interesting historical stuff. They don't do it anymore but you can still access a lot of the stuff.

John Adams and his VP/successor Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826.
