The record — long form
Pikeville is the '24 — the 'Piketon' that's the first, the 'seat' that's the Pike. The 'Cut-Through' is the '73 — the 'second largest' that's the earth removal, the 'floods' that's the prevented. The 'Hatfield-McCoy' is the district — the 'Ellison Mounts' that's the hanged, the 'Dils Cemetery' that's the buried.
The 'Garfield' is the '62 — the 'Brigadier' that's the sworn, the 'City Park' that's the camp. The 'C&O' is the '05 — the 'coalfields' that's the opened, the 'company towns' that's the shrank. Pikeville is the anchor — the 'linear' that's the 4 blocks, the 'Levisa' that's the navigable.
