Book excerpt: Draper, the first secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, collected more than 500 volumes of material on the famed frontiersman Daniel Boone. His biography of Boone remained unfinished for 100 years until Ted Franklin Belue, a widely read scholar of early Americana, added his authoritative editing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyman Copeland Draper: A Memoir In these journeys of discovery, largely through dense wildernesses, Draper traveled, in all, over sixty thousand miles, meeting with hundreds of curious incidents and hairbreadth escapes, by means of runaway horses, fright ful storms, swollen streams, tipped-over stages, snagged steamboats, extremities of hunger, and the like, yet never once injured nor allowing any untoward circumstance to thwart the particular mission at the time in view. Many of those he sought, especially before 1850, were far removed from taverns and other conveniences of civilization; but pioneer hospitality was general and generous, and a stran ger at the hearth a most welcome diversion to the dull routine of a frontiersman's household. The guest of the interviewed, the inquisitive stranger often stopped weeks together at those crude homes in the New York, Ohio, Ken tucky, Virginia and Tennessee backwoods - long enough to extract, with the acquired skill of a cross-examiner, every morsel of historical information, every item of valu able reminiscence stored in the mind of his host; while old diaries, or other family documents which might cast side lights on the stirring and romantic story of western settle ment, were deemed objects worth obtaining by means of the most astute diplomacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-nineteenth century the Wisconsin Historical Society's first director, Lyman C. Draper, gathered outstanding materials such as the Daniel Boone papers, which include Draper's interviews with Boone's son, and the papers of Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark.

For scholars, genealogists, and local historians, the Draper papers offer a wealth of information on the social, economic, and cultural conditions experienced by our frontier forebears. The 180-page index lists thousands of names and is an indispensable guide for all who wish to use the collection, which is available in libraries across the country on microfilm.
Download or read book Border Forays and Adventures written by Lyman Copeland Draper and published by Ideas Into Books Westview. This book was released on 2006 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Border Forays and Adventures contains some of the most gripping tales leading up to the independence of the American colonies from the tyrannical rule of the British Empire. Many of the stories, including Indian tortures and the burning of William Crawford a the stake, are horrible to read, but it is America's heritage. There are terrible mistakes made. The cover of the book carries a picture of Miss Jane McCrea, who was on her way to marry Lieutenant David Jones of the British army, when she was shot off a horse and scalped by Indians paid by Lt. General John Burgoyne, the general who led the British army. There is a story of Christian Indians being clubbed to death by American troops caused by a slip of the tongue. And yet there are victories. Four chapters devoted to an American victory over Indians on October 10, 1774 at the Battle of Point Pleasant, often referred to as Lord Dunmore's War, although Dunmore and his troops were not involved in the battle. One chapter in Border Forays is dedicated to George Rogers Clark's conquest of the Illinois. From that chapter the following language may be found: Soldiers! We are near the enemy who have so long annoyed us, and whom we have been four years endeavoring to reach and punish. We are not fighting alone for liberty and independence but for the defense of our own frontiers from the tomahawk and scalping-knife of the Indians. We are virtually defending the lives of our women and children, although a long distance from them. These British garrisons furnish the Indians with powder and lead to desolate the frontiers and they pay gold for human scalps. We must take and destroy these garrisons. The fort before us is one of them, and it mustbe taken. We cannot retreat. We have no provisions, and must conquer or starve. This is the Fourth of July. We must act to honor it. Let it not be said, in after times, that Virginians were defeated on that memorable day. The fort and town, I repeat, must be taken at all hazards. Those words, spoken over two hundred and twenty-five years ago, tell the story of this book - the price that our ancestors, man, woman, and child paid for our American independence - Your Heritage, My Heritage. That speech to his troops, given on our National Holiday, however, only touches the surface of the horror suffered in gaining that independence. From the files of a man who corresponded with relatives of participants and who wrote of those early days in American history, this book is written. Much is not pleasant to read, but only reinforces what George Rogers Clark said and meant. His troops conquered and they honored that memorable day - the Fourth of July.
