The true story of “the Maple Leaf” is an exciting subject to study. So much that it seems<br />
it could be a fictional tale suitable for a Hollywood script. Full of adventure and high risk<br />
ending with a hero’s welcome home celebration for 70 Confederate officers that had escaped<br />
after being captured and on their way to a POW camp aboard a union steamer called the<br />
“Maple Leaf”. This all happened right here in our neck of the woods back in 1863.<br />
During that time most of the area between Norfolk on down to Bertie county was occupied<br />
by federal troops, but the locals not in uniform, the children, the elderly and the women,<br />
just as brave as the soldiers on the front line, would risk it all to save their homeland from<br />
Lincolns invasion. This story tells of our locals that assisted these 70 officers to navigate<br />
their way through enemy occupied areas of Knott’s Island, over to Currituck, through the<br />
swamps of Camden and down to the nearest Confederate line in Bertie County.<br />
After the war, the veterans that endured this heroic escape spoke highly of the<br />
citizens of our area. Some spoke in very admiring terms of the ladies of Camden. While the<br />
men were hiding in the swamps the girls would sneak out and deliver them food and drinks.<br />
One young lady Miss Adelaide Campbell brought them a fresh baked pound cake with a<br />
Confederate flag stuck in the center. Another veteran, said “ A dance was proposed, and but<br />
for the lack of a fiddle, our company would have taken all the chances of capture for one<br />
dance with the Camden girls”<br />
It’s great to know that our local citizens were able to bring cheer and comfort during<br />
the toughest of times, as these brave men fought the good fight for Southern Independence.<br />
