Draper manuscript collection

Papers created and collected by Draper reflecting his interest in the history of the trans-Allegheny West, a region embracing the western areas of the Carolinas and Virginia, portions of Georgia and Alabama, the entire Ohio River Valley, and part of the upper Mississippi Valley, primarily from the period of the frontier conflicts of the 1740s and 1750s through the American Revolution and the War of 1812, but also into the mid-nineteenth century. Draper intended to use these materials for a series of biographies of trans-Allegheny border heroes and pioneers.
