Gore’s Almost Duel

Thursday, February 20 @ 7 pm

After criticizing a fellow American for his lack of diplomatic skill, Christopher Gore got word the man was threatening to “seek satisfaction” for the insults. Though nothing came of it, Gore took to carrying a pistol, just in case.

Historian and Brandeis Professor Dan Breen will give a talk about this period in Christopher Gore’s life and the impact it had on himself, his friends, and his family. Admission is free and you do not need to register ahead of time. To read more about the Speaker Series, visit Gore Place's website (https://goreplace.org/whats-on/speaker-series).
