Scrapbook of newspaper clippings primarily on the Revolution in the West, a volume which Draper compiled and frequently cited in many bibliographical notes as “Scrapbook No. III.” Most of the articles were published in the 1850-1859 decade, but a few are of scattered dates 1840 to 1883. Although a few pertain specifically to Brady, the majority concern an assortment of contemporary persons and events such as Robert Benham, the Shawnee chief Black Fish, the battle of Blue Licks, Daniel and Nathan Boone, Joseph Brant, the Seneca chief Cornplanter, Christopher Gist, James Harrod, Simon Kenton, the Iroquois Logan, James McDonald (b. 1748, and a veteran of the battle of Bunker Hill), Daniel Morgan, Benjamin Netherland, the battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, John Sallings, Susannah Smart, Tecumseh, Benjamin Ulin, Frederick Wadsworth, the battle of Wyoming, Noah Zane, and Zane's Trace.

Other articles contain reminiscences (1853) by John Poage about his early settlement in Greenup County, Kentucky; copies of letters from John Armstrong and Daniel Morgan to Richard Butler in 1782-1783 and from Edmund Randolph to Isaac Shelby in 1794; and accounts of historical society activities in Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the 1840s and 1850s.
