What a lovely area! This was interesting, and I subscribed. I have always wanted to move to either Kentucky, West Virginia, or Eastern Tennessee. I'm a late comer (it's 2022...), but I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I read one pioneer account on the Oregon Trail, that said it took 8 hours for one herd to pass their camp, they could not see them in the dark but it was loud.
Thanks for this video. I have some recently discovered family history from this town, and it was good to get some information. I took a quick trip to the area but didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked.
@@aaronbell5741 There were no natives living full time in the bluegrass area post 14/15th century. The land is still very productive and wildlife is as, if not more, plentiful than in the 1700s sans the bison. Never have been buffalo native to North America.
Bison were also abundant in Indiana. Look at the state seal. By the early 1800’s however, they were pretty much gone. Loss of habitat and hunting took their toll.
Kentuck=bloody ground. All the other meanings sugar coat it, lot better for tourism brochures... As a kid growing up there we were told it meant happy hunting ground. I found out later reading in old books in our grade school library( that today would be deemed politically incorrect and butt hurtful) that it was because the dirt itself became dark stained from the blood spilled of warriors. Ground cursed by the spirits for the war deaths that occurred throughout the area. According to the books, different nomadic tribes converged in through the valleys of the black and pine mountains that separate SEKY and SwVa and traveled into the areas occupied by the Ohio River Valley nations Brutal and deadly warfare over this territory was the norm for untold centuries before the first pioneers and explorers trekked through the area. Sadly this seems to be a part of our history that has been completely lost or is unknown but to few.

@@danmarcell3167@Dewey Sturgill In Algonquian Kenta ake literally means "Land of our in-laws". This is often translated as "Land of those who became our fathers" or "Land of our fathers".

Some people think it comes from "Catawba," the people who lived in Kentucky before the iriquois. But there is no known language where anything close to Kentucky means "blood" or "blood river". That's a grade school myth equivalent of "t-rex is the biggest dinosaur" or "there are 3 states of matter." And it's not revisionist history or history at all - since both of these languages are still spoken it's modern day fact

Well, you could have talked about the structure right behind you...
Moreland, Green, and Lucas ancestors lived here.
How did Geronimo get to Kentucky :)
I just haven’t seen any blue grass
Wasn't Stamping Ground originally named for a local family?
No. It was named after the Buffalo that used to congregate there. There was a buffalo trace running through this region at the time.
When will we get a better mayor than Keith Murphy
Too bad the Buffalo are no longer prevalent in this country.
exactly.
Kentucky means Blood Land
Kentuck=bloody ground.

Popular myth, not true in the slightest
