Duelling began as a customary mode of private dispute resolution at least as early as the 7th Century B.C.E. The Code of Honor, John Lyde Wilson's definitive code duello, represents a uniquely American refinement of the custom.
Based mostly on personal experience, John Lyde Wilson wrote in 1838, describing a set of guidelines for duelists, and arguing that clear, rigorous standards would save lives rather than encourage duels.
