Vintage Insult

Tell Me What You Really Feel

Political mud slinging is nothing new.

As is the to and fro of insults among rivals.

Well, we came across a printed insult flame from one William Tradewell of Tallahassee:

To the Public.
The object of this placard is to inform the Public that Gen. Leigh Read has declined giving to me an apology for the insult offered me at St. Marks, on the 5th inst. That he has also refused to me that satisfaction, which as an honorable man, (refusing to apologize,) he was bound to give. I therefore pronounce him a Coward and a Scoundrel.
William Tradewell.
Tallahassee, Oct. 26, 1839.
