Mint and feud in a Virginia border tale
In a rural river valley two neighboring planters Henry Fargis of Virginia and William Duncan of Maryland feud after their children Sallie Fargis and Tom Duncan fall in love. A fatal quarrel erupts on a woodland footbridge, ending with both men grappling over who crosses first. Mint scent from the field becomes a clarifying moment as they pause, inhale the herb, and abruptly halt the fight, restoring a strange peace as the story shifts toward reconciliation.
