"Kinship in Breathitt"
Article from the Louisville Courier-Journal - June 3, 1904
Note: This article (as written) contains an error, as Jeremiah South was
South Trimble's grandfather, not his uncle; though they may have actually been trying to say
that TP Cardwell was South Trimble's uncle, which is true - Ed O'Rear

Article from the Weekly Kentucky Yeoman newspaper of Frankfort, KY
- Jan 7, 1879
An interesting letter concerning the Little-Burnett troubles which happened mostly in
November of 1878 in Breathitt County. It lists several civilian Souths killed by the homeguard during
the war.
