Excerpt from Confederate Military History, Vol. 9 of 12: A Library of Confederate States History Written by Distinguished Men of the South
T the treaty at Watauga, Tenn, in March, 1775, R when the Cherokees sold to the Henderson com pany for ten thousand pounds sterling the greater part of the territory embracing the present State of Ken tucky, the chief, Dragging Canoe, said there was a dark cloud over that country. Another version is that he said it was a dark and bloody ground. The whites, inquir ing the meaning of his reference to a Cloud, and fearing it implied an imperfect title, were assured with a stately wave of the hand by the stern Chieftain that their title was unquestioned, but that he feared when the pur chasers went to take possession the Indians of the north who frequented the land as a hunting ground would shed their blood and resist their occupancy.
