DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1925 Such is the interpretation given the seal. However, there is no authority on the identity of its author other than the fact that he was Peter Stuart Ney, and in the conjectures as to whether he was Napoleon's marshal or not lies the fascination. There are many assertions that he was, and there is much evidence given by people in this community that certainly tend to prove it. It has been asked why P. S. Ney tried to conceal his identity in America. The reason is obvious, as he himself said that some of the most prominent officials and highest families in France aided in his escape and for their safety his escape must be concealed. We cannot here go into details, but there are several statements that have almost the weight of authority.
