icholas Dukes and Captain Adam Nutt were two men with
much in common. Both were prominent members of Penn-
sylvanian society in the 1880s, both had studied law under
the same mentor, and both shared an intimate connection
to the beautiful Lizzie Nutt: Dukes was her debonair fiancé, Nutt her
doting father. Yet Dukes soured on Lizzie during their engagement and
resolved to rid himself of his betrothed. He penned a scandalous letter
to Captain Nutt accusing Lizzie of sexual transgressions with no fewer
than seven suitors, himself included. Such were her charms of seduction,
Dukes claimed, that she ‘would disarm the devil himself,” Nutt was
not one to suffer lightly an affront to his family. He fired back, “I have
always held that when a man invades the sanctity of a home, he takes his
life in his hands, and under this code, I shall act.” In their shared village
of Uniontown, Nutt confronted Dukes in a duel that would lead to one
man s death and the other s sensational murder trial. Using the Dukes-Nutt
affair, the book explores the role of honor in a society hesitating at the
threshold between past and future.
The New Narratives in American History series aims to reimagine the
craft of writing history by providing compelling tales told by scholars.
These brief books rely on a sustained narrative to illuminate a larger historical
theme or controversy.
