| Summary |
Thomas Reynolds and Benjamin Gratz Brown were in the same political party but on vastly different sides of it. On one side there was Reynolds, who was pro-slavery, and on the other was Brown, who belonged to the anti-slavery Free Soil party. But more than that, the two men came into St. Louis around the same time and became something of political rivals. It is reported that the two genuinely did not like each other, so when they faced off in a duel on Bloody Island, it was the culmination of several years worth of animosity. Luckily, both men survived, though not without injury. With several facsimiles of primary resources, The Brown-Reynolds Duel offers plenty to study in an attempt to understand the "Duel of the Governors." |
