Does anyone have information the The Clay County War in Kentucky

Question

I've watched the History channel DVD on this subject and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some websites or give me a summary of it? It's a part of my family history but I can't seem to find anyone in my family who knows anything about it.

So if anyone has any information or links, I would really appreciate it. :D

Hello folks...

Did anyone watch the Clay County Wars on the History Channel last night?

Awesome show full of names involved in the deadly shootouts there in the

1800's. They included the Howards (my family), the Bakers, the Whites and

the Garrards. I took notes on the names and taped the show so if anyone is

interested, I'd be happy to share some of what I learned. Fascinating!!

Tomorrow night is the Hatfield and McCoy story. Great TV watching!
