George Gibson, a Knott County native who probably owns more banjos than most reasonable people, plays a tune called "Morgan's March". The story behind the tune, as told to him by a neighbor, is that when Morgan's men came through Knott county in June of 1864 they stole the neighbor's grandfather's fiddle. He sneaked down to where they were camping that night hoping to steal his fiddle back and saw General Morgan himself playing this tune.
