Tissier's Shotguns Used As Weapons And Empty Coffin Waiting At Most Important Duel Ever Fought On Historic Grounds At Little Georgia Town BY O.
S. Coffee and pistols for two climaxed hot-headed Alabamians at West Point, most important duel fought in the the Alabama line, happened to be in a wagon near-by, was a mute finish. The duel engaged two of the most dashing, as two of the most nent young men in Dallas county, Lieut. Michael Johnston Kenan of Cahaba, a former sheriff of Dallas county, and reputed to be the handsomest man in the State, and Thornton Boykin Goldsby of Summerfield. Lieut.
Kenan's father, Maj. Michael Johnston Kenan, a native of Duplin county, N. who had served in the United States Army in War of 1812 had figured some years before in a violent disagreement with William Rufus King on the streets of Cahaba in which the distinguished Alabamian drew a sword cane to defend himself. Distinguished Family Goldsby was son of a distinguished sire, also, his father, Col. Thornton Boykin Goldsby having moved to this state from Georgia.
Col. Goldsby owned 300 slaves and amassed much land in Central Alabama, his famous Mud Hall and Lodeba plantations near Hamburg, the Trigg plantation and the Cross Roads plantation having established landmarks in this section of the state. The home site of the Goldsbys was in Summerfield, then a thriving little village, noted for its cultural atmosphere, and situated some dozen miles north of At the time West Point selmthe duel Lieut. Kenan, an officer in the Crocheron Dragoons, recruited at Cahaba and Selma, had returned to Dallas county on furlough to seek out his former friend, but enemy for two years past, who had been absent in Texas since the serious disagreement had arisen to break up their friendship. Kenan and Goldsby sowed the fatal seed for their duel at a card game, when both were drinking.
A light ensued in the course of which Goldsby hit Kenan on the nose. The scar went deep, Kenan's pride was wounded. He challenged his friend to a duel, but before the challenge was delivered Goldsby's friends had advised him to leave the county, and he went to Texas, where he spent long hours practicing shooting at strings from the limbs of trees, to perfect his marksmanship. Kenan Joins Army Kenan, sheriff of Dallas county, and a crack shot with a pistol, enlisted in the Dragoons a at the outa WYNN many an affair of honor for back in the Sixties, but the famous little Georgia town, just over with shot guns, and an empty coffin, reminder that the fight would be to the break of the resigning his commission as sheriff. He had been in service for many long months, when he learned that Goldsby had returned to Dallas county from Texas.
Securing a furlough, he also returned, determined to secure satisfaction for the scar which he carried on his handsome nose, and the deeper hurt which his pride had suffered. Arrangements were perfected for a duel at West Point, Ga. The time was February, 1863, when Kenan, Goldsby and a party of friends started from Cahaba by boat for Montgomery, carrying a coffin with them in which one of the duellists would return. The trip to West Point was made by train, after members of the party had made overtures, seeking to have the duel called off. The party arrived at the duelling at West Point in the early morning.
Perhaps they were fortified with a stronger potion than coffee. Their demeanor was solemn, and a sense of dull foreboding was felt by the little group of seconds. Kenan, a crack shot, was confident. secure in the knowledge that he could shoot in half threads hung from the swaying limb of a tree, showed no nervousness. Positions Hastily Taken The two went to their positions hastily.
At any moment officers of the law might arrive and put an end to the duel. A wagon carrying, the the empty field. coffin, Shot was guns drawn were "handed each man by his seconds, who retired from the range. The signal "fire" was given, er than his hip when roared Goldsby's gun was raised, no highits terrible message of death in the ears of Kenan, who fell, mortally wounded, shooting as he fell. The shot grazed Goldsby's temple.
He rushed forward to the fallen man. "Are you dying, Mike?" he cried, as he caught Kenan into his arms and fled over the State line to escape the approaching officers. "Prop me up and give us another round," Kenan replied with his dying breath, while he he he gazed with unflinching eyes into the circle of men bending over him.
