That Portion Of Territory Known Throughout Christendom As Kentucky, Was,
At An Early Period, The Theatre Of Some Of The Wildest, Most Hardily
Contested, And Bloody Scenes Ever Placed On Record. In Fact Its Very
Name, Derived From The Indian Word Kan-Tuck-Kee, Which Was Applied To It
Long Before Its Discovery By The Whites, Is Peculiarly Significant In
Meaning--Being No Less Than "The Dark And Bloody Ground." History Makes
No Mention Of Its Being Inhabited Prior To Its Settlement By The Present
Race; But Rather Serves To Aid Us To The Inference, That From Time
Immemorial It Was Used As A "Neutral Ground," Whereon The Different
Savage Tribes Were Wont To Meet In deadly Strife; And Hence The
Portentious Name By Which It Was Known Among Them.
