Series: 29 J (Volume 29)
: Draper notes and correspondence accompanied by transcripts of documents pertaining to Clark and his associates primarily in the years 1780-1784. Topics and persons discussed in notes, letters, and clippings include: Henry Bird's expedition and capture of Ruddell's and Martin's stations in Kentucky in June 1780; the establishment and siege of Fort Jefferson, Kentucky (1780); Thomas and William Brooks; Antoine Gainer; Charles Gatliff; and the military services of Abraham, Frederic, and James De Peyster. Copies of additional family papers of W. Lindsay Pogue furnished to Draper by Joseph B. Boyd and W. D. Hixson include: letters by John Dodge at Fort Jefferson in 1780; letters on military affairs in 1782 by Clark, Benjamin Logan, Robert Todd, and Stephen Trigg to Joseph Lindsay; land warrants and related documents issued to or for Clark in the early 1780s; Clark's deposition (1805) about the proposed expedition against Detroit in 1781; and a deposition (1820) by Joseph Pogue about his military service. As Boyd was an autograph collector, his own letters (1852-1853) to Draper contain mention of other early collectors as well as frequent allusions to such other notable Clark contemporaries as Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton. Another segment of the Pogue family papers is in Volume 4 J.
