Jim, I'm a Columbus Ohio boy. My wife was born in Eastern Ky (Harlan County.) We live in Adams County Ohio now. Our poster Martin Carmack is a Letcher County resident and closer to the ground. If I can help you in any way, I would be glad to do so. On my vacation I came back through South-Eastern KY, I had not been through there in years. It reminds me alot of TN, GA and NC except for that strip mining, the top of those mountains looked so denuded, raped. Does the Federal Government make them replant? I hope so. Fine folks down there, though hard feeling lasted a long time after the war, up to present memory. Strange, a people that have the same culture, listen to the same music , go to the same churches, live the same way and the fueding and fussing lingered so long.
