Trost, Cathy. The Blue People of troublesome Creek. Science, November 1982. Pp. 35-39.

Martin Fugate was a French orphan who settled on the banks of eastern Kentucky’s Troublesome Creek. His great-great-great-great grandson was born not far from Troublesome Creek. He was born with dark blue skin that appeared to be the color of a bruised plum. This color was due to blood inherited from past generations. His great-great-great-great grandson Benjy lost his blue tint within a few weeks. His lips and fingernails still turn a shade of purple-blue when he gets cold or angry.
