Duel Between Clay and Randolph Docks in Virginia
A long wartime tale recounts the 1825 Clay Randolph duel on the Virginia side of the Potomac. It details the challenge, the nine gold pieces, and the near fatal volley, followed by a later handshake and continued civil relations between the men. The narrative also touches on the era’s political tensions and Northern Democracy’s stance during secession.
