French–Eversole Feud
The French–Eversole Feud occurred primarily from 1887–1894. The events occurred in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky and were mainly situated in Hazard, Perry County. The two instigators of this feud were Joseph C. Eversole and Benjamin Fulton French, who were both merchants and lawyers and at one time were friendly. Estimates attribute anywhere from 40 to 70 deaths to this feud over its many years.
==Before the feud==
Jacob Eversole was one of the first settlers of the area and built a cabin in 1800, which was the family's home until 1880. When Perry County was created in 1819 the town of Hazard was chosen as its seat. The small town had only one road, scattered buildings, and only a few boards to walk on over the muddy streets. It became the trading center of the county with a population of around 100 during the feud.
Eversole and French were very similar men. They were both lawyers, merchants, and very well off. Eversole was related to many in Perry and surrounding counties due to his family being in the area for so long. He married a woman from another prominent Perry County family, Susan Combs. French, however, was not a Kentuckian. He hailed from North Carolina but married Susan Lewis. She was related to many families in the surrounding counties, but the couple made their home in Perry County.
