Duel on the Battery Affects Charleston War Time Romance
In Charleston during the Sumter crisis, Lieutenant Kerchival West defends Mrs Haverill and clashes with Edward Thornton over a covert romance and a letter for Frank Haverill. A midnight duel ensues near the bayou. Kerchival is wounded but survives. Frank seeks shelter as the conflict escalates and a secret miniature portrait ties a family to the perilous events.
