You read in the Bible of the prophets of old... how to become a seer, a prophet, one had to bury himself alone in the woods. Your old Scotch bards would often bury themselves in the mountains... I wanted to become a Seer so I buried myself here in the woods. Some day the vision may come."
Hugh Cameron
"Wonderful Old Lawrence" by Elfriede Fischer Rowe
...... Hugh Cameron came to Lawrence in July, 1854, but lived to age 81 and so came into the generation that had dropped the style of 1854. He was a free-state man and decided to come to Kansas where the action was. He is listed as a farmer in Andreas History of Kansas, 1883. His place was three miles north and west of Lawrence, on the south side of the Kansas River, and was designated as "Cameron Bluff."
He was born in New York state. Some dropouts might be interested to learn he did not go to school. He was self-educated. He did a good enough job of it, too, became a professor of mathematics at the Rittenhouse Academy in Washington, D. C. He didn't get to stay there too long as he was fired because he was linked with a close friend who was a radical. Later he "canvassed" for Harper's Magazine.
From there he came to Kansas. When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted and served two years in the 2nd Kansas Cavalry and came out a captain. He then served four years in the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry and came out a Lt. Colonel. In later years he was brevetted Brig. General of Volunteers for Meritorious services. He was called by many, "General Cameron."
The Hermit was a walker. All through the years, he walked to Washington to attend every inaugural ceremony. He had important friends in Washington. Webster and Clay were intimate friends. Politically, he was usually on the side of the minority. He printed a journal called "The Useful Worker" which was devoted to sobriety, equality and equity. As a writer, his style was bold and aggressive, and according to his contemporaries, these traits characterized his career in life. The journal did not last long. He also was a strong Prohibitionist.......
