Pamphlet removed 81pp. Some rears and chips at edges and spine, and title page partially separated. Some moderate foxing and aging, and a couple of pages have folds. Otherwise in good shape. With one shot, Hunter killed Miller in Chester, Pennsylvania for publishing a letter that called him a coward. While Hunter offered Miller a chance to retract the statements before the duel, Miller refused. Both fired shots at almost the same instant, but it was Hunter’s round that found its mark. This pamphlet also provides some observations on the custom of dueling, and its affect on society.
