Series: Brady and Wetzel Papers: 12 E
Scope and Content Note: Notebook, 1855, about Samuel Brady and border events in Pennsylvania, compiled by Samuel J. Rea. Introductory material added by Draper includes a succinct statement of the terms of his purchase of Rea's papers on Brady in 1856 followed by Draper's list of informants and his index to the contents of the notebook. The bulk of the notes he described by a chronological table under Brady's name. Unrelated to Brady and found in the closing pages of the notebook are an outline of ancient history and notations on law written by Rea, which appear to predate his research on the noted scout.
