I am writing to seek your assistance with our project, the Civil War Governors of Kentucky, Digital Documentary Edition (CWG-K), now in its fourth year. This project is endorsed by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (the granting arm of the National Archives and Records Administration), and is currently funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This long-term (approximately thirteen-year) documentary-editing project is dedicated to locating, imaging, transcribing, annotating, and publishing documents associated with all five Kentucky Civil War governors, including the three Union governors, Beriah Magoffin (1859-62), James F. Robinson (1862-63), and Thomas E. Bramlette (1863-67), and the two provisional Confederate governors, George W. Johnson (1861-62) and Richard Hawes (1862-65). The edition will be comprised of an estimated 35,000 documents spanning the period from November 1860, coinciding with the election of Abraham Lincoln, to the end of 1865, which marked congressional passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. Published online and freely accessible, CWG-K will open new research possibilities for scholars worldwide and foster new understandings of this tumultuous era for teachers, students, and the general public. We currently are conducting a national search for documents. We are looking for manuscripts or printed materials written by a Kentucky Civil War governor; documents addressed to a governor; documents endorsed by a governor; documents written by a secretary or assistant but signed by a governor; documents reporting a governor's words (e.g., speeches printed in newspapers). If you are confident that you have relevant documents, we would like to visit your institution to do research and to obtain high-resolution color digital images of any in-scope documents that we find. We are trying to maintain as much consistency as possible among images from dozens of repositories by using our own scanners. In our records, we would carefully identify your institution as the owner of the original documents and provide this information in any citations. We would also make available to you copies of any digital images we capture of documents from your institution's collection(s). Finally, if by chance you know of other repositories or collections that may have the kind of materials we are seeking, or know of any person(s) who may have such knowledge, we would greatly appreciate any information and contacts you could provide to further our efforts. We understand that this could be a lengthy process and greatly appreciate your assistance. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding our request, please feel free to contact our editorial assistant, Whitney Smith, by phone at (502) 564-1792, or email at whitney.smith@ky.gov. Thank you for your attention to this request. Sincerely, R. Darrell Meadows, PhD Director, Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary Edition Kentucky Historical Society

Thanks Lynda,    I never saw the show, but if such a creature existed, my grandpa would have loved to tell stories about it. So, I don't believe it. Also, my uncle in Tn. has told me many stories about roaming the woods, hunting, when he grew up in Wolfe Co. He grew up there, and surely would have heard the stories. So, I don't believe them and think nobody else should either. It just can't be true or more people would have heard of it.
