There are conflicting numbers concerning Dickenson's dueling record. Some say it's over 20 kills but I found info on just the Jackson duel. Going into the duel, Dickenson was completely confident that he would be the victor, Jackson was equally confident in his own shooting ability. For those who bet a wager, Dickenson was the favorite to win. He was younger, faster and a more accurate shot. It seems Dickenson's luck ran out. Although Dickenson wounded Jackson, missing his heart by less than 1/2 inch, Jackson finished cocking his pistol and hit his opponent in the abdomin. Dickenson died shortly thereafter. What is known though, Jackson himself had dueled no less than a dozen times before his confrontation with Dickenson. He may not have been the fastest or even the most accurate, but he certainly seemed to be very lucky.

What happened between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson in 1806?
Well, Charles Dickinson is an extremely old relative of mine. Anyway, I don't know the cause but I do know the result: Andrew Jackson was saved from a bullet because of buttons on his coat, while Charles died from one of Andrew's bullets. Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson had a series of disagreements that ended in a duel between the two in May 1806. The final argument was over a horserace scheduled between Jackson's horse Truxton and a horse owned by Joseph Erwin named Ploughboy. Erwin was Dickinson's father-in-law. When Ploughboy was not able to run in the race, Erwin was supposed to pay Jackson a forfeit. There apparently was a disagreement between Jackson and Erwin over the amount of the forfeit. Dickinson heard rumors that Jackson and/or Jackson's friends were criticizing his father-in-law for not paying the forfeit properly. He put an ad in the Nashville newspaper calling Jackson various bad names. Jackson challenged Dickinson to a duel and Dickinson accepted. The two men met in Kentucky for the duel (dueling was outlawed in Tennessee) and Dickinson shot first hitting Jackson in the chest. Under the rules of duels, Dickinson had to stand still and allow Jackson to also take a shot. Jackson aimed and shot Dickinson in the chest. Dickinson died from blood loss. The doctors decided it would be too dangerous to remove the bullet and Jackson carried it for the rest of his life.
