Newton Mammoth Cave Smoked Names

Newton Mammoth Cave Smoked Names 1866

Mammoth Cave, KY

At the end of the benches past Fat Man's Misery and outside the bathrooms Isaac and his brother John smoked their names in the ceiling in 1866. This act was conflated with his POW status to live in family memory as 'Newton was kept prisoner by the Confederates in Mammoth Cave.' However, he was captured in eastern Tennessee and the Confederacy never controlled Mammoth Cave and nobody kept prisoners there at any time. Growing up I (F. X. Flinn) heard stories about this from my mom, his great-granddaughter, and in Aug 1973, at the age of 19, I took a camping trip with two college pals which began at Gettysburg, went thru the Blue Ridge and into W Va, thru the Cumberland Gap into KY and on to Mammoth Cave and finally Owensboro. At Mammoth Cave, I asked at the Park Service information station whether or not there was an index of names in the ceiling of the cave. The question was greeted with derisive laughter, but the senior man said some names were well remembered and I should go ahead and tell them who I was looking for. "Isaac Newton, my great-great grandfather, who is said to have been a POW here during the Civil War," I replied. Lots of head shaking. "No. No POWs were kept here. And I don't remember seeing that name. Anyone else?" No. More head shaking. I turned away from the window, feeling like the whole trip was a stupid waste. A second later, as I took my third or forth step away, I heard a young woman call "Wait...wait..." I stopped and turned. Leaning out the window, a young woman my age, probably an intern. "What name are you looking for?" "Isaac Newton," I called out. She beamed. "You're not going to believe this, but I noticed that name yesterday. It's at the very end of the benches at the bottom of the cave, outside the bathrooms. You get there just after you go through 'Fat Man's Misery.'" And indeed, it was. News of actually finding it and having a location clearly excited my Great Aunt Martine when I arrived in Owensboro. To me, the importance of this story is that oral traditions are extremely important sources of information, and are not to be dismissed, but rather, cajoled into revealing their truths.
