    Very cool to see this place again, I spent hours and hours playing in that ravine as a kid in the 90s. We often took chalk sticks with us so we could trace the letters and read it more clearly. I grew up in Morgan county and a school friend lived within hiking distance from the rock. Feels like another lifetime and a world away.

    Lewis Wetzel was closely associated with Colonel Ebenezer Zane -- an ancestor of famous author Zane Grey. Wetzel and Eb Zane defended Fort Henry as one of the last battles of the Revolutionary War. Eb Zane left behind a detailed journal of his life, which Zane Grey used to write the "OHIO RIVER TRILOGY" containing "Betty Zane" + "Spirit of the Border" + "The Last Trail". The Trilogy follows the real life adventures of Wetzel and Zane, describing actual events and other historical people. See: czcams.com/users/results?search_query=Ohio+River+Trilogy+ or obtain the novel from booksellers.

    I'm from oklahoma and my dad used to tell me about rawhead and bloody bones but as one solid entity that was completely skinless besides a pair of wings made entirely of children's skin (I think he took a lot of that from the jeepers kreepers movie me and my brother used to watch it a lot when we were kids) and that if you were in the woods alone after night he'd swoop down from the trees and skin you alive

    Check out the lumby Indians l u m b i e down near White lake North Carolina Lumberton North Carolina and you'll see that the Indians from the coast were taken into the inland to cut lumber and the escape slaves ended up in that same swamp but now the Lumbee are a mixture of those two peoples even though they're fixing to be recognized as a official tribe they're really not

    I could be wrong but I don't think Clark county Virginia was even created at that time it was created out of Frederick county Virginia at a later date being the smallest county in Virginia ever to this day it did not exist during the colonial. The settlers at that time would not have lived in a tree in Clark county Virginia it would have been Frederick county at that time

    The sampsons are my family, I've heard this story from my grandpas brother . There dad was my great grandpa and Bill sampson was his dad and I believe Howard was an uncle . This was really cool to find I had actually been bored and was looking for something to watch when i remembered hed told me to look up boogerhole sometime so i looked it up on youtube for shits and grins and found these videos and was watching in Ah next to just hearing about it thank you I found it fascinating . I've got some black and white pictures of the sampsons and the one posted in the video of Howard . I also heard about the cemetery but have never been there . Not my grandpa's brother who told me the story but his other brother wesley sampson was buried there in the early 2000s anyhow thanks again I love the history.
