Abstract:

This article provides an account of a duel between hotel manager Daniel Dugger and Democratic congressman from Virginia George C. Dromgoole in 1837. The piece draws heavily from an account of the event printed in the Brunswick Gazette by Warner Lewis (AKA \"Monitor,\") on January 19, 1893, and is supplemented by Lewis' additional research, primarily focused on Dromgoole's life and character and on the nature of formal duels.
