PORTRAIT OF SIMON KENTON.
In Filson Club Publications No. 17 the
artist who
painted the portrait of Simon Kenton is
spoken of as
Louis Morgan. The contribution is by
General Samuel
W. Price, himself an artist, and an
authority on the
subject treated in his carefully
prepared monograph
entitled The Old Masters of the Blue
Grass. His
sketch of Morgan is a very interesting
one, but it dif-
fers in some important particulars from
the contribu-
tion to this issue of the QUARTERLY by Mr. Walter D.
McKinney, who gives the name of the
artist of the
Kenton portrait as James Morgan and
sustains this
claim by a manuscript letter from
Thomas W. Cridland
who made the frame for the portrait of
Kenton pre-
sented to the Ohio State Archaeological
and Historical
Society. The differences between the
sketch in the
Filson Publications and that included
in Mr. McKin-
ney's address will be subject to future
comparisons and
an effort made to determine beyond
question the name
of the artist.
IN OUR NEXT ISSUE.
Brief contributions entitled The
Descendants of Te-
cumseh and Ezra Meeker, The Ohioan will appear in
the next issue of the QUARTERLY; also
acknowledgment
of a gift to the Society by Miss Rachel
Trimble.
