"Kaintuck" Man


Mural Of Kentuckians At Paducah

From The Devil's Backbone, The Story of the Natchez Trace...:

"Already (in March, 1806) 'Kaintuck' described a kind of man and not merely a place of habitation.  General Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans described only their mildest marks of identification."  'I never met a Kentuckian,' he (General Andrew Jackson) said, 'who did not have a rifle, a pack of cards and a bottle of whiskey."
