This story ends on March 11, 1879, around 6:40 pm. Lt. Col. Robert Alston lay dead on a sofa inside the home of Dr. Tabor, over on Decatur Street. He had been shot in a duel by his close friend, in retaliation for going against the prevailing beliefs of his time. Today, I am going to tell you about Alston’s life and how is ended in this tragic way.
