This article says the Cumberland River starts in Letcher county and I had heard many times before that it starts in Harlan County and I am not sure which is right.

This uncited statement is a problem. "The native American name for the Cumberland River was the Warrito." According to whom? To which Native Americans, in which language? Then there is the contradictory statement, "Previous to Walker's trip, the Cumberland River had been called Warioto by Native Americans and Shauvanon by French traders." Is it Warrito or Warioto, and again, in which language? TriNotch 02:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
