Abstract:
Richard Dobbs Spaight, a man of wealth, education, and a signer of the federal Constitution, served North Carolina well during his three one-year terms as Governor. A political campaign dispute between Richard Dobbs Spaight, Sr., and John Stanly culminated in the summer of 1802, when the men fought the state's most famous duel in New Bern. Spaight was mortally wounded.
