(Continued from page 436) 
traveler who had been hurt by his horse 
falling on him”. For this professional act 
Mudd was sentenced for life to the Dry 
Tortugas, a Federal Military prison on an 
island off the Florida coast, but was sub¬ 
sequently pardoned. Not far from here 
at Surrattsville, we saw the house of Mrs. 
Surratt, where the meetings of the con¬ 
spirators were held. Mrs. Surratt was a 
widow, who kept a boarding house, and 
she was probably as innocent of any part 
of the plan as the traditional new born 
babe, but she was hung, with attending cir¬ 
cumstances which are not pleasant to re¬ 
hearse. It is said that Andrew Johnson, 
probably the weakest of Presidents, de¬ 
murred at signing the order for her execu¬ 
tion, but finally yielded to his Secretaries, 
Stanton and Seward, who insisted that an 
example must be made of all rebels and 
traitors. 
As has been noted, Dr. Mudd was par¬ 
doned after public passion calmed, but 
Mrs. Surratt had been sent forever beyond 
the reach of any clemency or reparation. 
After his leg was set, Booth continued 
his flight south, and went into hiding in a 
dense pine thicket, where he lay concealed 
for more than week without shelter, ex¬ 
posed to the rain and without companion¬ 
ship. During this time thousands of Fed¬ 
eral troops swarmed over Southern Mary¬ 
land and every house was repeatedly 
searched. It seems incredible that no one 
chanced to pass where he lay. Two or 
three white men and at least one negro 
knew his whereabouts all that week. Final¬ 
ly by the aid of friendship that would have 
been worthy of a better man, he succeeded 
in crossing the Potomac into Virginia, but 
there he had short shrift. The barn where 
he was concealed was surrounded by troops 
and finally set on fire and the miserable 
assassin driven from it like a rat, was shot 
through the head, dying in a few hours, 
and thus cheating the court room and the 
gallows. Thus ended his poor, sordid 
story. 
Down at Point Lookout, on the extreme 
southern tip of the peninsula, was a mili¬ 
tary prison for Confederate soldiers. The 
site is marked by an imposing granite mon¬ 
ument, fhat in this flat country is a land¬ 
mark for many miles. On it there is a 
great bronze tablet, with the inscription: 
“Erected by the United States to mark 
the burial place of Confederate soldiers

WORK COMPANY, Meriden, Conn; 
and sailors who died at Point Lookout, 
Maryland, and were there buried to the 
number of 3384, but zvhose remains zt'ere 
subsequently removed either to their re - 
spective homes or to other cemeteries, 
ivherc their individual graves cannot nozv 
be identified,” 
It is just one more monument to the un¬ 
speakable folly and woe and wastage of 
war, for these 3384 were boys whom 
southern mothers loved, just as northern 
mothers loved the boys who died in Libby 
and Andersonville. Yet it is pleasant to 
remember that time is healing all these 
wounds, and that this monument, erected, 
not as might be expected by some Con¬ 
federate organization, but by the United 
States itself, is a recognition of the fact 
that the sufferings and the valor of North 
and South alike has become the common 
heritage of both. 
Probably more than any other state, un¬ 
less it may be Kentucky, Maryland was 
torn by conflicting passions in the War. 
Nominally she was a loyal State, but a 
large share of her people felt that their 
duty lay with the Confederacy, and the 
War divided not State from State, but 
neighbor from neighbor, and even brother 
from brother. In many Maryland ceme¬ 
teries you will find two soldier monuments 
—one to the men who wore the blue and 
one to the men in gray. There is a Con¬ 
federate monument (at Hagerstown, in 
western Maryland, if my memory is ac¬ 
curate) which represents the sculptured 
figure of a beautiful woman stooping to 
comfort a dying soldier with an inscription 
whose lingering cadences seem to me to be 
the almost perfect expression of faith in 
ultimate recognition and undying fame; 
“Their praises shall be sung 
In some yet unmoulded tongue 
In the far off summers that we shall not 
see.” 
I think the North, as a whole, has come 
to give full meed of recognition to the dig¬ 
nity and pathos of the Lost Cause. 
* * * 
Thus, after many years, I renewed Mary¬ 
land memories. We were fortunate in havv- 
ing for companions Mr. and Mrs. William 
Amoss. He was Director of the Farmers 
Institutes in Maryland for many years, and 
he knows the State—its highways and bye- 
ways—its bays and headlands as a man 
knows the streets of his town. His rela¬ 
tionship with the farmers of the State was 
particularly intimate and cordial and in a 
land where the traditions of hospitality are 
perhaps even more insistent than with us, 
there were homes when he went and even 
took his workers with him. One of the- 
outstanding memories of my life is a 
January night, eighteen years ago, when 
we were guests of Philip Brisco, down in 
old Calvert County. His home is a great, 
roomy, old time country mansion, possess¬ 
ing that which only years can purchase- 
memories and traditions. From a little 
bluff it looks out over the gleaming Pau- 
tuxent—at this point some three miles 
wide. Across one end of the house is the 
big parlor, built in the palmy days before 
the war, with two big brick fireplaces. 
That winter night there was a little com¬ 
pany of neighbors, and in each of these 
fireplaces ’ there was a huge flaring, flap¬ 
ping fire of old field pine. There was 
also feasting and good cheer, with a black 
man to tend the fires, and it was the near¬ 
est I shall ever come to knowing what life 
was like in the old days. I suppose the 
romance and the glamour of the old regime 
will never be forgotten. 
So, the other day, Amoss said again, 
“We will go to Philip Brisco’s,” and go 
we did. I think the years have brought 
few changes. The old house still stands 
with its stories and its memories. The to¬ 
bacco was lush and shining green, and the 
corn was ripe and ready for the knife. The 
host and hostess seem no much older than 
before, but the youngsters have become 
men and women, and there are grandchil¬ 
dren playing in the storied old rooms. I 
wonder if I shall ever pass that way again.
