On May 14, 1892, Dr M.B. Taylor, also known as The Red Fox, and two confederates, Henan and Cal Fleming, ambushed Ira Mullins, a local moonshiner and his family. The ambush killed five out of seven people who were in the caravan at a rock near Pound Gap now called Killing Rock. Dr Taylor was hanged at the Wise County Courthouse on October 27, 1893 for the murders. The Red Fox Trail & Killing Rock is now a hiking trail in the Jefferson National Forest.
