Although Champ Ferguson was not a Monroe Countain, he was born in nearby Albany, KY., and is a son of the Cumberlands. Here's more about our regional history, with a URL from Randy Jobe: Douglas Patton Hale wrote: "Sergeant Alvin York was from Pall Mall, Fentress Co. the county seat is Jamestown (Jimtown) to the locals. . .Fentress Co. was a big Union strong hold during the Civil War and Overton Co. was strongly Rebel. If you are interested in the Civil War with a local flavor you might want to read "Champ Ferguson - Confederate Guerrilla" . . . . Champ was actually from Clinton Co. (Albany) Ky. He engaged in a bloody feud with Tinker Dave Beatty from Fentress Co. Tenn. Champ moved to White Co. (Sparta) Tenn. and continued his war with the Union.
