Duels on Delmarva (Part 2 of 3): The Tangier Tragedy Danger on Delmarva

Episode will continue with some of the tragedies that happened around the pits family from Virginia's Eastern shore. the many family members were held in a steam with a judge, a senator, doctors and lawyers making up the professions of most of the male members of the family. but when rash actions are taken and consequences or not thought of, it can lead to a tragedy that affects not only those directly involved, but their families and the community at large. today we will look at a shooting that took place in 1884 involving Dr James Pitts and Dr Thomas Walter.
