Series: Daniel Boone papers: 32 C
: “Boone Miscellanies,” an assortment of newspaper clippings, periodical articles, and pamphlets published from 1787 to 1910. Although Daniel Boone's life is the primary topic of most of these printed materials, some relate to such contemporaries as Simon Kenton and Simon Girty; to specific events (especially the battle of Blue Licks); to the Boone grave monument in Frankfort, Kentucky; and to Boone descendants. The earliest piece (1787) is a reprint of Boone's autobiography, ghostwritten and published by John Filson three years before. A very few letters to Draper and his copy of William Cocke's account of his meeting with Lord Dunmore in 1774, the settlement of Bonnesborough, and the skirmish in Powell's Valley in 1775 are the only manuscripts in this volume.
