[edit] Champ's Death
In line with the above statement it should probably be noted that folklore local to the Cumberland Plateau of Middle TN indicates that Champ survived the gallows and lived on in the area from whence he came.
I'll look up the documentation on this and contribute when I can. If you are able to do so before I can, please feel free to do so.
- You're absolutely correct, that is a very important part of the Champ Ferguson story. I'll see if I can't find some good sources to get that in there. Danthemankhan 18:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Champ Ferguson is my Great x 5 Uncle.
My name is DeWayne Carter, I am 16 and i live in Georgia. I have been working on a family history project for school for the past few weeks. My grandfather and I recently discovered that Champ Ferguson is my great great great great great uncle. I have the family tree and other sources as a reference. I just wanted to see if you could tell me anymore about him. My e-mail is Atlantabrave23@aol.com.
===Books Amazon has a couple of books about Champ. I've read one & just ordered the other. Thurman Sensing repeated the rumor about his escape. The Union calvary stabled their mounts in the Chapel of the Methodist Church in Sparta so he had a lot of friends here. Corruption ran rampant and he was a successful guerrilla, so he could have bought out. jacksherrell@yahoo.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.158.173.158 (talk) 05:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
