Confederate Veteran Recalls Mutiny Aboard Maple Leaf
Cameron camp member John B Wolf, captain of Co I 14th Arkansas, led Confederate officers in seizing the steamer Maple Leaf off North Carolina. They forced the pilot to steer toward land, evading the US fleet, and reached safety after days of hardship. They later sent news to President Davis and were greeted with an ovation in Richmond. Captain Wolf, though modest, earned high fame for the daring escape.
