About this Item

Pamphlet removed 81pp. Some rears and chips at edges and spine, and title page partially separated. Some moderate foxing and aging, and a couple of pages have folds. Otherwise in good shape. With one shot, Hunter killed Miller in Chester, Pennsylvania for publishing a letter that called him a coward. While Hunter offered Miller a chance to retract the statements before the duel, Miller refused. Both fired shots at almost the same instant, but it was Hunterâ s round that found its mark. This pamphlet also provides some observations on the custom of dueling, and its affect on society.
