In time, however, social groups outside the ruling class engaged in a variety of violent acts and symbolic challenges under the rubric of the code duello. In Duels and the Roots of Violence in Missouri, Dick Steward takes an in-depth look at the evolution of dueling, tracing the origins, course, consequences, and ultimate demise of one of the most deadly art forms in Missouri history. By focusing on the history of dueling in Missouri, Steward details an important part of our culture and the long-reaching impact this form of violence has played in our society.DuelingMissouriViolenceMissouriHistoryMissouriHistoryDuelingViolenceHistory.394/.8/09778Steward Dick1942-1510239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777329203321Duels and the roots of violence in Missouri3742743UNINA
