Legend of Harpes Head in Kentucky border lore
In early 1800s near Henderson Kentucky a wild band led by Harpe terrorized the region along the Wilderness Road. After murders and robberies from Greene River to Rockcastle Hills the Harpes were pursued, captured, and Big Harpe killed at Harpe’s Head where his head was displayed on a pole. Little Harpe later died after joining Mason’s band. The tale, drawn from Col. James Davidson and others, frames a brutal frontier justice narrative.
