1913. From The Young Kentuckians Series. General John H. Morgan was
one of the most picturesque figures in the Civil War, an officer
without a peer in his chosen line. During the two years of his
brilliant career he captured and paroled at least ten thousand
Federal soldiers, and kept three times that number in the rear of
the Federal army guarding communications. The adventures of Calhoun
as a secret agent of the Knights of the Golden Circle opens up a
portion of the history of the Civil War which may be almost unknown
to our younger readers. During the war the whole North was
honeycombed with secret societies, whose members denounced Lincoln
as a usurper and a bloody monster, and maintained that the
government had no right to coerce the South. They resisted the
draft, encouraged desertions, and embarrassed the Federal
Government in every way possible. In secret many of the leaders
plotted armed rebellion, the liberation of Confederate prisoners,
and the burning of Northern cities. They held out inducements to
the South to invade the North, and there is but little doubt that
Morgan was lured to his destruction by their representations. See
