more work needed[edit]
I cleaned this article up and expanded it considerably in the last couple of days, especially using the Encyclopedia of Virginia article. Because it's a reliable source, I included its reference to his heavy drinking, as well as the October 15, 1881 duel, although I couldn't find reference to it in the three volumes concerning the Readjuster party that I consulted. The wikipedia article concerning the other party, George Douglas Wise, is pretty skeletal, so doesn't include a corresponding mention.Jweaver28 (talk) 14:31, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
