Joseph Erwin was an American racehorse owner, owner of cotton and sugar plantations, and a slave trader. In 1807 he had a trunk stolen at the Natchez, Mississippi boat landing containing six weeks worth of "bills of sale for negroes" and 50-odd promissory notes totaling US$20,000. He is best known for the enmity between him and future U.S. president Andrew Jackson. Their conflict over their competing thoroughbred racehorses, Erwin's Ploughboy and Jackson's Truxton, led to the fatal 1806 duel bet
