Champ Ferguson was a first, a family man, a warrior, protector, a man on a mission. Men like this only God can raise. Say when the state thinks it knows what’s best. The original folks of Appalachia had their own run in with corporation, media & the nanny state. No one is safe from the machine that eats up anything on its way. God help us!! May there always be men like Champ who fight against evil, pride & stupidity. 🙏

I am a Kentucky Civil War storyteller. As a result, I have visited with many people in many schools and organizations including Clinton County, KY. The descendants of Champ Ferguson do not believe that he did anything wrong. Strangers to Clinton County must be very careful what they say regarding the Civil War. You would be amazed at how many descendants of Ferguson live in Clinton County. Another area to be careful in while traveling to Kentucky is Guthrie, which is located on the Kentucky-Tennessee border. This town is still fighting the Civil War. The majority of the people living in the area were sympathizers of the South.

Coming from the area this occurred in, it’s not widely known how divided and brutal the war was here. A borderland that was ripe for atrocities and restitution came due. Champ is a hero for fighting for not only his family and neighbors, but his cause as well. This “good rebel soil” was deeply stained from the blood shed by many citizen, not just soldiers. It could be deadly to them to voice the opinions of what convictions they held. The Union soldiers who were based out of Nashville and Tullahoma destroyed homes, killed citizens, stole and pillaged communities. It was a tough time indeed. Great job sharing his story!

I get why he became what he did. ❤ The mountains have their own justice. They have their own way and it does no good to go against it. Champ knew that. So he worked within those means and unfortunately what happened to his family had a profound effect.

In recent months, "poll worker" and "pole worker" sound the same when spoken, but when written... YIKES!!! My mother-in-law was a poll worker (and kindergarten teacher) for 30 years.

Such a great story and one of the best vids on Champ I've seen. Even tho a lot say he was a serial killer he definitely wasn't. It's shouldn't even be a debate lol. One of the key elements of being a serial killer is a cooling off period between killings. As this video perfectly explains, the dude was out for revenge and at no time did he cool off. He was pissed about what was done to his family and at no point did his anger and need for revenge subside. He's a great example of a spree killer and absolutely a war criminal even tho his motives were somewhat admirable.

Wow, a great story about a true Confederate hero!! I belive the story of champ quite possibly could have been the basis for the movie the outlaw josie wales played by clint eastwood! The basis of that movie is very similar to this story!

I was smart enough to stay up in the Rockies during that war.

I spent many days on the calf killer river. It bordered the back of our farm. I know rite where he's buried and have hunted the hills around the area. Champ is seen as a hero there.

There is a place called Cumberland Gap! I have hiked it many times and it was the easiest passage through the mountains between Kentucky and Tennessee! There is a little town there call Cumberland gap, and it is estimated that upward of 300,000 have passed through the gap on horse or walking over the last 1100 years.

Yep, you will see drone footage of Cumberland gap in my videos. I also performed in Cumberland Gap two years ago at their annual White Lightning Moonshine Festival
