* "About 12 men - not Kuklux, but most of them ex-laborers in the collieries and mines at the Red River iron works, and Radicals from Pennsylvania and Ohio, who had been thrown out of employment by negroes underworking them - attack Bonaparte Vaughn's negro boarding house at Fitchburg, Estill co., and are twice driven off, with less of two killed ( - Fugate and Pat. Spradling), a third dies from his wounds, and several others are wounded. Company A, 16th U.S. infantry, is sent to and stationed at the iron works." - "Collins' Historical Sketches of Kentucky; History of Kentucky," Volume I, Lewis Collins, p.215, 1874.
