Aboard the Mississippi: duels, polygamy tales and murder
In a 19th century river voyage tale, a quiet passenger kills a captain after exposing theft, later revealing a vow to arrest his father’s killer. A riverfront interview on polygamy leads to a crowded hotel scene with Brigham Young’s wives, and a dramatic duel in New Orleans ends with Delagrave’s fatal choice and Rivière’s death, leaving lasting shadows on both men.
