  • The Cumberland Settlement
    The Cumberland Settlement Essential Question: Why was the Cumberland Settlement created and what problems did the early settlers encounter? In 1775, Richard Henderson purchased 20 million acres of land from the Cherokee in a land deal known as the Transylvania Purchase. The lands lay in what is now middle Tennessee and Kentucky. While Henderson was not able to convince Virginia and North Carolina to recognize his entire claim, he was able to claim the region near the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee. In 1779, Henderson planned a settlement in order to take advantage of the region’s rich natural resources including fertile soil and abundant animal life. Henderson’s settlement was named the Cumberland Settlement for the Cumberland River which served as main transportation route in the region. Henderson gave the difficult task of establishing the settlement to James Robertson and John Donelson. Donelson was an experienced land surveyor and veteran of the Cherokee War. James Robertson was one of first Watauga settlers and had served as one of the five magistrates established under the Watauga Compact. Robertson had also served as commander of Watuaga Fort during the Cherokee War. Henderson had a two part plan for settling the Cumberland region. First, Robertson and a small group of Wataugans traveled overland in the spring of 1779 to select a site for the settlement near French Lick. French Lick was a natural salt lick along the Cumberland River that had been the location of a French trading post. In December of 1779, Robertson and the men returned and built cabins and Fort Nashborough in preparation for the arrival of Donelson’s party in the spring of 1780.

  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.

  • Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard
    Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states.

  • Mccreary County, KY
    McCreary County, Kentucky CASE STUDIES What I think makes it a Bright Spot is that we do see ourselves—the whole county—as a community, and that we do come together. —Kay Morrow, Director, McCreary County Public Library Creative Commons 2.0 Generic Treewoman8 / The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River in McCreary County The only Kentucky county without an incorporated city, McCreary County is a place where everyone knows everyone. As in many communities in Appalachia, residents here have seen their way of life shift dramatically as a result of the boom and bust of the coal and timber industries and declining economic opportunities. Despite living in one of the poorest counties in the state and the country, McCreary residents harbor a sense of hope for untapped potential. They embody the Kentucky commonwealth’s motto “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” McCreary County may face many challenges, but this tight-knit community draws upon its collective strength and common goals to improve health across the county. In downtown Whitley City, the county seat, the courthouse yard sprawls across the street from the local library, both welcoming venues in a community that is striving to reinvent itself as an outdoor-activity destination. 45 CREATING A CULTURE OF McCreary County, Kentucky | HEALTH IN APPALACHIA CASE STUDIES McCreary County is home to approximately 18,000 people, and the population is predominantly white. Its poverty rate is triple the national rate, and the unemployment rate is 10.6 percent, much higher than the national average of 6.2 percent. McCreary County is among the ten percent of Appalachian counties—and one of nine counties in Appalachian Kentucky—identified as a Bright Spot, performing better than expected on 14 out of 19 different health outcome measures.
