📖 • Context: Duels in the Wild West were not as common as they are often portrayed in popular culture. While they did occur, they were not a daily or widespread occurrence. The frequency of duels varied depending on the time period, location, and specific circumstances of the region. In some areas, dueling might have been relatively rare due to the presence of established law enforcement and legal systems that discouraged personal combat. In other more remote or lawless regions, the lack of organized authority might have allowed disputes to escalate into duels more frequently. Furthermore, while firearms were certainly a part of life in the Wild West, not every conflict led to a duel. Many disagreements were likely settled through other means, such as negotiation, avoidance, or mediation by friends and family members. They were more of an exception rather than the rule, influenced by a combination of individual personalities, local customs, and prevailing social norms of the time. 🔎 • Sources: Adams, Cecil (25 June 2004).
