Kentucky, the Dark and Bloody Ground Framed Print

Kentucky is called the “dark and bloody ground” due to its histroy as a contested, violent frontier during the late 18th century westward expansion. While sometimes wrongly thought to mean Native Americans never lived there, the phrase originates from a warning by Cherokee leader Dragging Canoe in 1775, referring to the intense conflict, bloodshed, and loss of life resulting from white settlement.  Print is complimented by a brown wood frame complete with hardware for hanging and a glass front.  Printed on fine art paper. Limited quantity available. Exterior dimension of frame: 22″w x 28″h x 1″d.
