Abstract:
When Charles Salter's cow and calf went missing on Bogue Banks, North Carolina in 1917, Salter suspected wrongdoing. John Wheeler Glover was known for his intolerance of animals roaming on his land. When Salter confronted him, an argument ensued. Both men pulled their guns and killed each other simultaneously. Because there were no witnesses, the shootout has left many questions unanswered. We will never know if Glover killed Salter's animals.
