Description

It's hard to imagine it but it's not long ago that some people in NZ were sorting out their feuds with duels. Yes duels - mostly using pistols but occasionally swords. The last one recorded was in 1935 in Auckland. These duels were fought because of too much wine; quarrels over money; casting a slur over another's character; defending a young lady's honour, throwing an orange at someone's head; and there was even a literary duel between a poet and a newspaper editor! With illustrations by the inimitable David Elliot, The Smell of Powder: A History of Duelling in New Zealand is a gorgeous history and gift book all in one stunning package.
