Draper Manuscripts: Frontier Wars Papers, 1754-1885

Container Title
Series: 19 U (Volume 19)
Scope and Content Note: Manuscript copies of three journals authored by Ebenezer Elmer, James Norris, and Samuel M. Shute, participants in John Sullivan's campaign from Wyoming, Pennsylvania, into central New York during the summer and autumn of 1779. Draper acquired these copies for research and possible publications: Elmer's in 1879, Norris's in 1867, and Shute's in 1885, but all were printed during Draper's lifetime by Frederick Cook in his Journals of the Military Expedition of Major-General John Sullivan (Auburn, New York, 1887).
