Dueling was a popular means of settling disputes between members of the upper class from the early territorial days in Arkansas until well after the Civil War. Many consider the last duel in the state to have occurred in 1878, when shots were fired as a result of a dispute between John Adams, shown here, and State Land Commissioner J. N. Smithee, who also owned the Arkansas Democrat.
