How the Story Started
The starting of the story seems to
have begun with Frederick lady who
was on visit to this city. She spoke
Of Barbara Frietchie and her open SYM
patiny and valor: The story was re-
peated over and overland, like 50 many
stories, with always just a little bit
added. Mr.. Whittier frst heard of it
through. our celebrated native authoress,
Mrs. e: D. E. N. -SoHthwerth, who sent
him a newspaper clipping, purporting
to give an account of the subject. Nat
urally, he followed it as closely as posi-

justice OF the United States Supreme
Court. He had been shot through the
neck and had been reported rs MORALLY
wounded.
His father, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
the celebrated poet and writer, came on
from Boston to see his son, and passed
through Frederick on the way. to the
hospital. His "reminiscences Of the oc-
casion resulted in book, MY Hunt for
the Captain"
Had the Frietchie story been true.
one would naturally expect 80 able q
writer to have mentioned 1t In his ex-
periences. His son, was then . cap
tain, and 1t was the second time he had
been wounded, the first time through
the breast, at Balls Blur, October Il,
1861. After his Antietam experience he
again Joined the Army and was wounded
for the third time In the heel, at Maryes
Heights, Fredericksburg, on May 8. 1853.
The evidence against the Frietchie
incident would seem overwhelming.
Col. H. Kyd Douglas of Jacksons stan
concludes a letter with this statement:
1--WE did not pass or see the house of
Barbara Frietchie. I was with him
(JacksoD every minute he was In
Frederick, and nothing Like the scene
described by Whittier every happened.
Stonewal jackson never saw Barbara
Frietchie, nor she him. Besides Mrs.
Frietchie was at that time 96 years Of
age and bedridden, and could not have
arisen to defy the rebels II she had
wanted to, nor did she have the strength
to wave the flag If she had one. It is
still sadder to mention that her own
loyalty was not above suspicion, as her
relatives assure me II she had waved a

Dho suggested to Whittier the
1Oriting of the poem Barbara
Frietchie."
BILE, and exercised a poetic license, as is
customary with poets.
He does not attempt to stand for the
accuracy of the poem, only that he be-
lleved it to be true. Here is what he
says: THE poem, Barbara Frietchie,'
was written in good faith. The story
was no invention Of mine. 1t came to
me from sources which I regarded as
entirely reliable; it had been published
In newspapers, and had gained public
credence in Washington and Maryland
before my poem was written. I had no
reason to doubt its accuracy then, and
am still constrained to believe that
1t had foundation in fact. If I thought
otherwise, should not hesitate to ex-
press it," etc. In another letter he con-
cludes with the statement: II think she
deserves all I said Of her even If was
mistaken on some of the details"
Mrs. Southworth's acquaintance with
Mr.. Whittier occurred through her writ
ing for the National Era Of this city of
which Gamaliel Bailey was editor and
Mr.. Whittier corres BONDING editor. It
was this publication hat first printed
Harriet Beecher Stoves Uncle Toms
Cabin"
That there was foundation in fact for
the poem, few would doubt for min
ute. Indeed, Mrs. Mary Quantreu,
then living IN Frederick, Md, and whose
descendants, no doubt, still reside in
Washington, is said to have been the
real heroine Of the poem, but as she did
not have SUFFICIENT age to make the
story news" naturally age had to be
added. and this fit in better with Bar
bara's 96-hence, exit Mary; enter Bar
bara.
OF Barbara's Ancestry
Barbara Frietchie was the daughter
of Nicholas and Catherine Hauer, whose
names are said to be found in the rec
ords Of the First Reformed Church Of
Lancaster, Pa, and beside Barbara, who
was born In Lancaster December 3, 1865,
and who WAS haptised ia the Reformed
Church By Rev. william Hendel ths
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-11-12

other children OF Nicholas and Gather
Inc Hauer included Daniel, George,
Margaret and Catherine. OF these, Mar
garet became Mrs Slower and Catherine
Mrs. Peter Mantz.
Barbara Hauer married John Caspar
Frietchie on May 6. 1906. and her hus-
band, John Frietchie. died in ls4s. Bar
bara died December 10, 1862.
AS to the name "Hauer," 1t would
seem that the census of Frederick
County, Md, for 1870 errs in spelling
this name Hover" which likely is in
tended for Hauer. a name which does
not appear in this census at all; but
the name Nicholas Hover" does so
appear
In the latter case the record shows

uOuUlIul II JdCkSOl COulQ nave seen
Barbara or Barbara could have seen him.
By Another Route
The third reason that brands. the Incl
dent myth is that Jackson did not
march by Barbaras home, but selected
another route.
1t is remarkable how story like this
can gain credence.
One could not imagine better news
item. With an invasion in progress, how
better could the patriotic impulses be
excited than by just such story. The
one about the man biting the dog is
not in the same class, it lacks the set
ting of the Barbara Frietchie tale.
1t is said there is only one account
OF "Stonewall" Jacksons entry into
Frederick. and that was written by q
Union Army surgeon, who was in charge
OF the hospital there at the time. He
says; jackson, did not get good
look at to recognize him, though must
nave seen him, as / witnessed the
passage OF all the troops through the
town. And he does not mention Bar
bara at all.

this famous holiday coast. It is OBJ
vious there's been little pleasure here
for some time.
I've been talking for the last hour
with some French people. They tell
me the Germans began moving out
many Of their troops and even bat
teries several days ago.
Talks With d. C. Mans Sister.
A few minutes ago I talked with
an American woman who had been
living here since war began, with
her two children. They are all
right, but they are thin from lack
Of food. She is the former Frances
Hyde Of Plainf1eld, N. j.
Her brothers, Dorsey of Washing

should know that she is alive and
well.

Nearly all the Americans in the
neighborhood were taken by the
Germans long ago. This American
woman received from the Germans
half pound Of bread every three
days for herself and two children.
Receive Quiet Welcome.
Apparently many French Facists
and Vichyites were living here and

the landing surprised them. There
were few strained tears. And they
are people who suffered a long, long
time. They welcome us, but they
are quiet about it. They are little
more shrewd than the Italians, and
they are not counting upon an un-

American armies.
And We are only the beginning.
Before long there will be hundreds
Of thousands of Fighting French
men here. This will be part of a
hallowed ground when Frenchmen
themselves begin the liberation of
