Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, an American Slave, Written by Himself

CHAPTER II
4/19

They are not allowed to fight a duel, nor to use weapons of any kind.

The blows are made by kicking, knocking, and butting with their heads; they grab each other by their ears, and jam their heads together like sheep.

After fighting, they make friends, shake hands, and take a dram together, and there is no more of it.
