In the early morning of September
13, 1859, U.S. Senator David C. Broderick and Chief Justice
David S. Terry of the California Supreme Court fought
the famous duel that ended dueling in California in a
ravine east of here, near the shore of Lake Merced. Senator
Broderick was mortally wounded. The site is marked with
a monument and granite shafts where the two men stood.
