* Man speaking to CC is based on George Echols who later mined in Mingo county and testified before congress. I don’t know the name of the man who helped CC–just that someone did.
George may have moved to WV later, but miners moving around wasn’t uncommon. Few Clothes Johnson (Dan Chain) mined and fought in both Paint Creek and Matewan and Fred Mooney mined in Cabin Creek and later Longacre as well as traveling the western U.S. working various jobs.
