Frontier advance on the upper Ohio, 1778-1779, ed.

Description:

Taken from the Draper Manuscripts, this is a collection of original letters and documents composed during the American Revolutionary War. They are assembled to give the reader an accurate depiction of the events and struggles which were taking place along the Ohio River. Much is owed Dr. Lyman Draper for his collection of original papers begun about 1840. Without his collection much of this rich history may have been lost.
