Container Title
Series: 7 S (Volume 7)
Scope and Content Note: Mainly notes of interviews recorded in 1858 in the vicinity of Maysville and Washington, Kentucky, and Aberdeen, Ohio. Although Draper's research in 1858 was centered on the life of Simon Kenton, there are incidental references to many of Kenton's associates and contemporaries. The notebook also contains extracts from The Western Spy and Hamilton Gazette, 1799-1806, and notes copied from early Mason County, Kentucky, court records. The volume was indexed by Draper.
