Series: 8 J - 9 J (Volumes 8-9)
: Two volumes of letters and interview notes in Draper's arrangement. Although centered on Clark's military campaigns, 1778-1786, many papers also discuss or mention other contemporary events and personalities of this period in Kentucky and western Virginia. Draper's own papers form the bulk of both volumes, but there are several letters addressed to Mann Butler and to Benjamin Drake, notes for interviews recorded by Benjamin Drake, and reminiscences (1838) about Cave Johnson by Daniel Drake. Among the people interviewed by Draper (1846) was Daniel Strother, black pioneer in Vincennes, Indiana (8 J). In one original letter, 1786 (9 J), sent to William Fleming, Caleb Wallace discussed Clark's Wabash campaign.
