A Colored Duel and Other Tales From the Road
A vivid relic item recounts a sunrise pistol duel between two Black gentlemen on a Metairie road, with seconds debating ground rules as a sunlit dispute nearly causes a misfire, then ends with mutual satisfaction and departure. Additional anecdotes include a Brooklyn cleric’s sleigh ride, Abernethy’s exam quip, and a moral urging youth to seize fortitude and industry.
