Hi, I`m interested in finding information on the civil war and the people who lived and faught on top of Big Black Mountain during the civil war. I believe this mountain was called The Cumberland Mountain then. I`m especially interested in the feude between John Garrison(1812-1863) and Richard Pearl Morris (1812-1864). John lived on top of this mountain in Harlan Co. and Richard lived on The Powell Mountain, Big Stone Gap, Va. They was brother inlaws. Richard was a civil war soldier for the Confederate. John was to have sold horses to The Northern Union. Richard came to Johns place and shot and killed Him. I would like to find out what this was about. Was it a personal thing or what ?

Steve A starting point might be Iver Bernstein´s The New York City Draft Riots publ Oxford Univ Press 1990. Also you will be amazed what a search for "draft" and "riots" will pull up if you have access to the CD (HBar or GUILD) of the Official Records of the Rebellion (OR).
