as to the. real writer of the book,
there are two or three traditions yet
current which may account for the
authorship. One of these is that the
son of Marshal Ney, if not the great
marshal himself, in disguise, joined
the little colony of French who set
tied on the hills back of New Albany
on the old Vincennes trail a hundred
years ago. These people, refugees
from France after the fall of Napoleon,
settled at ST. Mary's of the Knob.
There is a package of letters and
documents yet extant which are said
to have been the private property of
Marshal Ney while he lived at the In
diana colony. How much truth there
is in this tradition of the authorship
of the book has never been satisfac-
torily determined.
con the other hand we have the
story of how a parish priest probably
Father Neyron, who was pastor of
Floyd Knobs as late as 1889 came to
the little French village during the
early part of the century, probably in
the year 1916. He ministered to the
small congregation of st. Mary's for
twenty-five or thirty years. He was
well educated and had served for
many years under Bonaparte. After
the downfall of his. master he fled to
the American refuge. 1t is barely pos
sible that he is the author of the
book
In discussing the value of the book
as an Indiana product, DR.. Esarey
said: at is claimed that the book is
the oldest printed in the State for
general sale. There is but one other
copy known to be in existence and
that is in the State Library at Indian
apolis."
