In the quiet graveyard near the little town of Attica lies the body of Nathaniel Grigsby and on the headstone the curious observer may read these words:
‘N. Grigsby, 2d Liu’t Co. G, 10th Indiana Volunteers. Died April 16, 1890. Age 78 years, 6 months and 5 days.’
‘Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation have come to it through this so-called party of treason.’
Below this inscription is added a postscript which says, ‘This inscription is placed here by the request of the deceased.’
– Thomas Allen McNeal, When Kansas Was Young, 1922
