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. 606 $aDueling$zMissouri 606 $aViolence$zMissouri$xHistory 607 $aMissouri$xHistory 615 0$aDueling 615 0$aViolence$xHistory. 676 $a394/.8/09778 700 $aSteward$b Dick$f1942-$01510239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777329203321 996 $aDuels and the roots of violence in Missouri$93742743 997 $aUNINA
