Series: Daniel Boone papers: 10 CDraper correspondence mainly on two topics: the origin and significance of the Yadkin River in North Carolina and possible routes through the mountains used by Daniel Boone in 1769 and later. Also found in this volume are notes on John and Julius Dugger and a description of a Boone inscription on a beech tree (1760). Two letters written by Louis B. Porlier (10 C 4-5) are unrelated to Boone but concern the Indian origin and meaning of the names Winnebago as applied to an Indian tribe and Winneconne given to a Wisconsin town. Includes a document in Yadkin (Catawba language) (p. 14-19).
