Series: 19 CC (Volume 19)
Scope and Content Note: A scrapbook in which Shane pasted clippings primarily from many western newspapers. Although most are undated, they appear to be from journals of the 1830s and 1840s. Displaying a wide geographical range, many pertain to Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin as well as to Kentucky and other eastern regions. Topics include Indians, natural resources, scenery, climate, travel conditions, and the history of white settlement. Of biographical and genealogical interest are articles on Marston G. Clark and on the Breckenridge family of Pennsylvania. A table of contents by Shane with annotations by Draper is found at the end of the volume.
