  • "Greatest flood in the upper Kentucky river since 1817; river rose 15 feet in 6 hours; over 20,000 saw-logs, the property of poor people, floated off and lost; above Irvine, Estill co., most those residing on the river bottoms were driven from their homes by the rising flood; many houses, coal and iron boats, corn boats, &e., washed away, and stock drowned." - "Collins' Historical Sketches of Kentucky; History of Kentucky," Volume I, Lewis Collins, p.228, 1874.
