Morgan Sexton of Letcher County, Kentucky
Born 1911, Died 1992
The song "Cumberland Gap" references the gap in the Smoky Mountains near the converging borders of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia - an important early pass over the Appalachian Mountains for squatters, colonisers, and settlers during the later 18th century.
Some have claimed a resemblance to an older ballad called "Bonnie George Campbell", but "Cumberland Gap" itself was probably adapted/written during the Civil War years, when "The Gap" was hotly contested by Rebel and Union forces.
