About the Author:
In 1961, Ross Hudgins' grandfather, Earl W. Marshall, was
getting ready to tear down an old barn. Before the barn could be
removed, the contents had to be taken out. While removing those
things, several crates of old books were found and thrown aside.
Being a lover of anything looking old, eleven-year-old Ross
opened the crates and found assorted volumes of mostly
nonfiction books. Most importantly, there were four volumes of the
personal journals of Maggie N. Vaulx. Very quickly, these caught
his eye and after some quick negotiations with his grandfather,
Ross went into the barn-tearing-down business for the wages of
2 crates of old books. A great deal for his grandfather; but for
Ross, a treasure which he has held on to for almost fifty years
and now publishes for the world to read.

It was 1862 when a 17 year old Margaret Nichol Vaulx, growing
up during a time of great national strife, wrote the words, "that I
may be in after years an ornament to society and the delight of
my dear parents." She came of age during the American Civil
War and has left us writings which are that very ornament which
she so prophetically spoke of. Margaret (known as Maggie) was
indeed the delight of her dear parents and of future Vaulx
generations. Maggie’s journals have been described as both
national and state treasures and as one Belmont University
journalism instructor said, "she can be compared to a Civil War
Anne Frank."
