“Indeed, the tendency of the Americain iiuud seems to he very strongly against the enforcement of any rule which requires a person to flee when assailed"-even to save human life'' In effect, Niblack held that the duty to retreat was a legal rationale for cowardice and that cowardice was simply un-American.”

“The particular no-duty-to-retreat walkdown that occurred in the public square of the remote southwest Missouri town of Springfield in July 1865 received national publicity, and in its aftermath the duty to retreat became a legal issue. Whether or not it was actually the first walkdown, the gunfight in Springfield was the effective beginning of the walkdown tradition, for it was the first to receive wide public recognition as such._,i In this case, the victorious gunfighter was Eisenhower's fondly remembered hero, Wild Bill Hickok.”
