Geocache Description:

A cache with some historical significance that should be easy to get to.

This cache is near a Hatfield-McCoy feud location. The Pawpaw Tree Incident was the result of the August 1882 election-day fight. Tolbert, a son of Randolph McCoy, exchanged heated words with Ellison Hatfield, which started a fight. Tolbert, Pharmer and Randolph McCoy Jr. stabbed Ellison to death. Later the three brothers were captured by Hatfield clan, tied to pawpaw trees, and shot in retaliation.
