  • The Sandbar Fight, also known as the Vidalia Sandbar Fight, was a formal one-on-one duel that erupted into a violent brawl involving a number of combatants on September 19, 1827. It took place on a large sandbar in the Mississippi River, a couple miles north of Vidalia, Louisiana and Natchez, Mississippi. The fight resulted in the death of General Samuel Cuny and Major Norris Wright. American pioneer and folk hero James Bowie survived but was seriously injured in the fight. The site of the brawl was originally a neutral island in the middle of the river with the river mainly flowing on the west side of the island. The main course of the river has since moved to the east side of the island, and so the site of the fight is thus located west of the modern river on Giles Island. However, the river's original path (west side of the island) still serves as the border between the states of Mississippi and Louisiana, and the site of the brawl therefore is and always was within Mississippi.

  • Il "Sandbar Fight" (lett. "Scontro del banco di sabbia"), anche "Vidalia Sandbar Fight", fu un duello degenerato in mischia di più contendenti svoltosi il 19 settembre 1827 su di un grande banco di sabbia del fiume Mississippi, vicino all'attuale Vidalia, in Louisiana, che provocò la morte del generale Samuel Cuny e del maggiore Norris Wright. Il pioniere americano ed eroe popolare Jim Bowie partecipò allo scontro uscendone gravemente ferito. Sebbene il sito della rissa fosse originariamente un'isola neutrale nel mezzo del fiume, da allora il corso del Mississipi è cambiato e il sito si trova oggi ad ovest del fiume, sull'isola di Giles. Il percorso originale del fiume, tuttavia, funge ancora da confine tra gli stati del Mississippi e della Louisiana e quindi il sito dello scontro si trova all'interno del Mississippi. (it)
