Container Title
Series: 29 S (Volume 29)
Scope and Content Note: A volume designated as “Note-Book C,” begun by Draper in Mississippi in 1841, with copies of newspaper obituaries and biographical notices of a few Ohio and Kentucky pioneers. Filling the major portion of the volume, however, are interview notes recorded in Tennessee in 1843 and 1844 and centered about the same topics listed in 28S. Also included are notes on the territory south of Ohio copied from Jedediah Morse's American Geography (1793 edition). A detailed index by Draper is found at the beginning of the notebook. A brief account of the battle of Kettle Creek (Georgia) on the last page of the volume is not noted in the index.
