to cutting and hauling wood to the fort. Every day, Maupin edged farther and farther away from the camp and his guards. Finally he found himself with a good start and whipping the team into a run he went thundering through the hills and over paths unknown to the soldiery until he came to safety. Capt. Graham, son-in-law of Maupin, was an ardent abolitionist and a Federal officer. Upon him, the old Southerner vented his unrestrained wrath at each indignity heaped on himself and on his friends. There is little doubt but that Graham often stood between his father-in-law and a summary execution by Federal authorities. Maupin once told a gathering of his friends and neighbors that he and Graham were agreed on but one thing, "Graham believes a nigger is as good as he is and I think so too". The war ended at last and it is almost impossible to describe the condition of the southern men in Monroe and other counties settled by Virginians and Kentuckians. Stripped of everything but the bare land, without help or money, deprived of the right to vote, many with sons lost in the war, they were left to rebuild their broken fortunes as best they might. A hundred years have gone by since those disastrous days, and the children and grandchildren of those Virginians and Kentuckians of the old South may look with pride on the gallant struggle made by those men in their efforts to build a new home and a new fortune on the ruins of the old. In practically every case they succeeded, for theirs was the unconquerable spirit of a dominant race.
