Draper Manuscripts: Kentucky Papers, 1768-1892

Container Title
Series: 18 CC (Volume 18)
Scope and Content Note: Two unnumbered Shane notebooks bound together. In these Shane copied articles, documents, and advertisements relating to Kentucky pioneers, land business, Transylvania University and other schools, and Indian threats and military affairs, all of which he selected from issues of the Kentucky Gazette for 1787-1788. As a file of complete issues for these years has been preserved and microfilmed, these selections seem now to be primarily of importance as examples of Shane's interests and collecting methods.
