DeWitts Duel

David Brooks from the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site joins us virtually to present the DeWitt Duel!

The life of DeWitt Clinton is an interesting exploration into the politics of early America and New York State. Recognized now as the "Father of the Erie Canal," NYS governor and former mayor of New York City, Clinton had tended to personal and political rivalries to accomplish legislative goals.

Discover some of the intrigue, wrangling, and dirty politics that lead ultimately to DeWitt's Duel on the plains
of Weehawken, New Jersey.
