Very true! I think bringing back duels period would be fun, I can't imagine being able to duel someone at work, it would be both fun and dangerous at the same time.

Anytime dude! I love find interesting interesting articles such as this, it's just so bizarre to me to think that a dude would try and murder two of his old friends over such ridiculous shit. An article as bizarre as Terry's deserves a post written about him!

> Field and Terry's paths crossed again 30 years later when Field, acting in his capacity as a circuit judge of the 9th Federal Circuit Court, ruled against Terry in a convoluted divorce case (and had him sent to jail for contempt of court as well). Seeking revenge, Terry attempted to kill Field in 1889 near Stockton, California, but was instead shot dead by Field's bodyguard, U.S. Marshal David B. Neagle.
Damn.
