About
From sword fights in New France to gun battles in Upper Canada, duels were once a familiar part of life in our country. Even though they were illegal, they were still seen by many people as the most honourable way to settle a passionate dispute. Trying to kill each other at close range was thought to be an entirely reasonable reaction to scandalous love affairs, political rivalries, and personal grudges. In this talk, author Adam Bunch will explore that dramatic history through the stories of some of Canada’s most extraordinary showdowns.
