The Duel
I've read (on this site actually) that the duel between Shields and Lincoln was abandoned by Shields when Lincoln chose cavalry broadswords as a weapon, as his height would allow him a reach advantage. Here it says they were talked out of it by their seconds. Which is more accurate? Doom Music 14:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
That is the same story I heard. Lincoln chose swords, however Shields backed out after Lincoln cut off the large branch of a nearly tree in one swipe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.57.96.1 (talk) 21:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- This was the story told in the documentary Lincoln: Prelude to the Presidency [1] which I saw today. It also mentioned that the "seconds" of the two men stepped in and discussed halting the duel after Lincoln's shot felled that branch, and that the duel was called off due to the fact that the articles (other than the first one) were NOT written by Lincoln.
