Enjoy the story of the infamous 1808 duel in Christiansburg between Thomas Lewis and John McHenry. After this duel, dueling was outlawed in Virginia. While most of us have seen the historical marker on town square, a larger backstory remains untold. About the people, the 1808 time period, and the duels lasting impact on local history.

This is a new work by local playwright Mark "Hiram" Curtis.
