IT WAS Not a Desire to Add Another to the List of Books Property of the U.S. Military Academy Library Property of the U.S. Military Academy Library T WAS not a desire to add another to the list of books "published exclusively for the use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy" which led I US to attempt this modest volume. It was rather a desire to leave behind us something which would serve as a pleasant reminder of our Cadet days. No records other than the battle-scarred volumes we have mastered and which we shall ever retain as trophies of our earliest campaigns will be needed to recall the working- side of life at the Academy, hut we deem it fitting to include in a work of this kind something which will serve as a record of the inner side of Cadet life as we have known it. After four years of the severest discipline and the hardest labors we are about to graduate and enter the world of life and action. What it holds for us it is. of course, impossible to say. but certain it is that the absorbing cares and varied interests which will soon fill our lives will tend to drive from our minds the pleasant memories of youthful days. May this little volume ever serve to lead us back to and recall all that has been bright and pleasing in the days when, impatient with the restraints of our daily life, we dreamed of glory and achievement and longed for the larger life beyond. ( me aim we have had constantly before us has been to foster the kindly feel­ ing which exists between the classes now at the Academy and to do something to perpetuate it. In this we hope we have succeeded. In thus recording a few of the happenings that have brightened our days and lightened the labors which other­ wise would have borne heavily upon us it is possible that we have included things which, in strict justice, might better have been omitted, but it is to be remembered that we have written whatever appears on these pages in just the same spirit in which it was told when we were all cadets together. If we have done aught to increase the love we all have for our Alma Mater and to preserve in pleasing form the memories that cluster round it. our time has been well spent and our labors have not been in vain.

    G ^ MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. XXXVII SEPTEMBER, 1942 No. } BARBARA FRIETSCHIE By DOROTHY MACKAY QUYNN and WILLIAM ROGERS QUYNN In October, 1863, the Atlantic Monthly published Whittier's ballad, "' Barbara Frietchie." Almost immediately a controversy arose about the truth of the poet's version of the story. As the years passed, the controversy became more involved until every period and phase of the heroine's life were included. This paper attempts to separate fact from fiction, and to study the growth of the legend concerning the life of Mrs. John Casper Frietschie, nee Barbara Hauer, known to the world as Barbara Fritchie. I. THE HEROINE AND HER FAMILY On September 30, 1754, the ship Neptune arrived in Phila- delphia with its cargo of " 400 souls," among them Johann Niklaus Hauer. The immigrants, who came from the " Palatinate, Darmstad and Zweybrecht" 1 went to the Court House, where they took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, Hauer being among those sufficiently literate to sign his name, instead of making his mark.2 Niklaus Hauer and his wife, Catherine, came from the Pala- tinate.3 The only source for his birthplace is the family Bible, in which it is noted that he was born on August 6, 1733, in " Germany in Nassau-Saarbriicken, Dildendorf." 4 This probably 1 Hesse-Darmstadt, and Zweibriicken in the Rhenish Palatinate. 2 Ralph Beaver Strassburger, Pennsylvania German Pioneers (Morristown, Penna.), I (1934), 620, 622, 625; Pennsylvania Colonial Records, IV (Harrisburg, 1851), 306-7; see Appendix I. 8 T.

He was a Republican party leader in a strongly Democratic state who advocated unpopular and even radical policies with irritating directness and honesty, and with little interest in compromise. He was one of the first and most vigorous opponents of the prohibition amend­ ment to the u. s. Constitution. He attempted to develop trade with Russia during the early post-revolutionary years, and early recommended partial recognition of the new government.
