Big Crowd Attends Manship House Program
More than 100 people packed the Manship House (1) to hear H. Grady Howell Jr. talk about the subject of his new book, Alexander McClung, a notorious Jackson duelist of the nineteenth century. After the talk everyone gathered outside (2) as Howell described the reenactment about to take place. McClung (portrayed by Bryant Boswell, 3) tidied himself before the duel. His assistant (or second, portrayed by Adam Gwin) loaded McClung’s pistol (4) and then the second (portrayed by John McBride) of his opponent, General Augustus Allen (portrayed by Tom Watts), loaded his pistol (5). When reenactor Bill Lee dropped the red handkerchief the combatants advanced and fired. Allen shot first but missed (7). McClung fired (8) and mortally wounded Allen (9), despite the best attempts of the physician (portrayed by Alan Yates).
