Notes: A COLD TRAIL was collected from J. P. Fraley of Boyd County, Kentucky in 1979. I met Mr. Fraley at a May Day festival at Hindman Settlement Schjool on the banks of the Troublesome Creek where Mr. Fraley was a guest fiddler. &nbsp;He was a well travelled mining consultant but grew up in eastern Kentucky which has a strong folk culture.
Also heard from Marcella Morgan of Leslie County, Kentucky who was told the tale by her father, James Baker.
