In this episode we pick up where we left off last episode.  The Rowan County War is raging.  Morehead and Rowan County are firmly divided.  Will an end to these hostilities be found?  We talk about all that and what happened to the surviving players in the years after the war.  Hosted by Amy Castle Bradley.

4. The Wild Wild West of the Rowan County War - Part 1

July 26, 2021 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MB

This topic was so big, I had to split it into two parts.  The wild west was not necessarily in the west.  The Rowan County Kentucky War was a dramatic tale of bad blood and deadly gunfire that had a greater casualty rate than the Hatfield and McCoy feud.  Join me as I talk about the lead up to this epic showdown and touch on how Hollywood has portrayed the Appalachian feuding stereotype.  Join me for Part 1.  If you would like to contact the show, you can do that at kentuckyeverafter@gmail....

I'm back again to dive into the connections between a character in Gone With the Wind, Belle Watling, and an infamous Kentucky Brothel Owner, Belle Breezing.  Margaret Mitchell said for years there was no connection.  Let's dive in and see if Mitchell was telling the truth or telling a lie.
