Warren County VA name
Back in the day it wasn't Twitter that ran viral.
It was a painting that went viral.
This painting made Dr Joseph Warren's sacrifice to the cause Famous - well known to all.
It got reprinted.
It got many different versions painted of it by the same painter as well as many copies of it in the newspapers across the land.
It follows the heroic pattern.
A man dying, looking away from life to the next stage.
Dr Joseph Warren got stabbed how many times?
The mutilation made identification difficult.
Warren County VA split off from Frederick Co VA in 1836, the same year Clarke Co split from Frederick Co VA -- both named after a known hero who was not local.
And 1836 was was a few years after this painting got reprinted and talked about.
"Trumbull painted several versions, including the one held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (dated between 1815 and 1831).
This was commissioned by the Warren family and passed down through the family before being acquired by the museum." Another, larger version (dated 1834) is held by the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut."
