Excerpt from Speech of Com, Jesse Duncan Elliott, U. S. N: Delivered in Hagerstown, MD., On 14th November, 1843In connexion with this affair, and on account of my zeal in defend-v ing the character of my brave Commander, which I conceived to be unjustly aspersed, I became involved in a personal altercation, from which I could not honorably extricate myself, and accordingly a meet ing upon the field took place with my antagonist. He fell, but fortun ately the wound was not mortal, and it affords me sincere pleasure to say that we lived in close friendship, for years after, up to his death, an event no way hastened by this affair.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
