Assassination Rock at Sulphur Gap


Michael Jonathan Strong, great-great-grandson of Captain Bill Strong, stands atop Assassination Rock at Sulphur Gap, Breathitt County, Kentucky, in the fall of 1994. It was from here that three unidentified men ambushed one of Breathitt County's most famous feudal chieftains on Sunday, May 9, 1897.
