The Dallas Daily Herald October 18, 1877
William Stevens, of Clay County, Alabama, has squatted on a mountain tract and 
built himself a log cabin, where he resides contentedly with his rifle, wife, 
eight kids and one hundred goats. The goats are hardy and prolific; he shoots 
them when he wants meat, or either for shoes; has their milk for milk, butter and 
cheese; exchanges kid's flesh for meal with a miller at the foot or the mountain, 
and sells his surplus animals yearly for clothing, hats, etc., and claims that he 
is the best fed, best clothed, best shod and best humored man in the country.
