520			_a"George Washington's Last Duel" by Thomas Nelson Page is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set in the Southern United States and revolves around themes of dueling, social customs, and the intricate dynamics of relationships among the gentry of the time. It uniquely blends humor with a critical view of societal norms, particularly the quirks of Southern society. The story is centered on a series of events leading to a duel between two young men, Jefferson Lewis and Pickering Lawrence, influenced by their competing affections for the intelligent Margaret. Amidst the tension and rivalry, the humorous character of Major Nat is introduced who, with his devoted but comical servant George Washington, attempts to navigate the absurdities surrounding gentlemanly conduct and honor through the framework of dueling etiquette. As the plot unfolds, misunderstandings and comedic mishaps abound, culminating in an unconventional climax that reflects the absurdity of honor and the art of dueling. The character of George Washington, who embodies both gravitas and humor, adds a layer of satire to the narrative, ultimately revealing the folly underlying societal expectations.
