PREFACE.
CATALOGUE of books on any one subject — that is, a
bibliography of any branch of literature, with such his-
torical, biographical or critical notes as may add to their
interest or value to the reader — possesses a literary inter-
est, as well as a practical use. The "Bibliography of
Ohio" is, in this respect, especially interesting, for it has
been said that Ohio, in common with the new States and Territories, would
furnish but a meagre subject for the historian or bibliographer. One of
this opinion must have reflected little upon the transactions of which the
Ohio Valley has been the scene since the year 1673, when the French-
man first made his appearance within its bounds.
During the past eight years spent in the compilation of this work,
the author has examined nearly every public and private library where
such works were likely to be found, from Boston, Mass., to St. Paul, Minn.,
and has personally examined almost every volume described in the work.
The result is a collection of upwards of Fourteeji Hundred distinct titles,
relating almost wholly to the History of the State and parts thereof,
not including the public documents, which would in themselves form a
volume. The number of titles secured, far exceeded the author's expecta-
tions, and we believe, far outnumbers any printed list of the books relating
to any of the other States.
Three State Bibliographies only have been issued in book form, viz.:
Massachusetts, by Jeremiah Colburn ; Rhode Island, by John Russell
Bartlett; and Minnesota, by J. Fletcher Williams. Six have been pub-
lished in other works, viz.: Wisconsin, by Daniel S. Durrie, in the His-
torical Magazine for April, 1870; New Hampshire, in Norton's Literary
Letter, 1859; Maine, in Norton's Literary Letter, No. 4, 1859; Maryland,
in the Historical Magazine, April and May, 1870; Maine, by Wm. Willis,
in the Historical Magazine, March, 1870; and Vermont, by Marcus D,
Oilman, in the "Argus and Patriot," Montpelier, Vermont, 1879-80.
The fact that our enterprise is both original and extensive, will, we
hope, extenuate the imperfections and omissions which must be a charac-
teristic of such a compilation, and we hope that the publication of this
work, upon Avhich we have spent an amount of trouble and time, which
some of our readers will hardly realize, may induce some of our friends
to investigate for themselves, the remarkable body of interesting literature
relating to American History ; and we are confident that there will be a
rich reward for all who will thoroughly work any portion of the enticing
field.

*,j.*Of Vol. I, twelve numbers were published in Chillicothe during the year 1842.
It contains a Frontispiece and twenty-one engravings. After the removal of the
place of publication to Cincinnati, Vol. i was twice reprinted, which accounts for the
fact that in many copies Vol. i is dated Cincinnati, 1S42 or 1844 and Vol. 2, 1S43
Of Vol. 2, ten numbers were published in Cincinnati Jan. -Oct., 1S43. It contains
12 AN ACCOUNT, ETC.
a folding plate, and twenty-one engravings. The publication was discontinued at
the end of No. lo, Vol. 2.
This work, which is very valuable to the historian, consists of original contribu-
tions relating mainly to the Ohio Valley. It contains Journals of Campaigns against
the Indians, Narratives of Captivity, Incidents of Border Warfare, Biographical
Sketches, etc. It will rank favorably with the " Olden Time," for usefulness and
authority. Accompanying each volume is a full Index, the very best recommenda-
tion to any book.
The Logan Historical Society was first organized on July 28, 1S41, at Westfall,
Pickaway County, near the spot where Logan, the Mingo Chief, is said to have de-
livered his celebrated speech. The Society flourished for two or three years, during
which time many valuable historical facts and reminiscences were collected, arranged
and published in the above work, edited by Mr. Williams, who was the Secretary of
the Society. For want of proper patronage and the enlistment of sufficient interest^
the Society was permitted to sink into oblivion. An attempt was again made, in
1849, to revive the interest, without success.

impartial account of the Western States that we have yet seen. The author dis-
claiming all intention of offering advice on the subject of emigration to the Amer-
ican continent, confines himself to a description of the country ; and he does not
appear to be one of those speculators who have land to sell, and are therefore inter-
ested in one particular State."

*.|,.* Prof. Andrevi's very justly concluded, that those who may come after the pres-
ent generation, if an intelligent race, will desire to know something of those who
preceded them. Ephraim Cutler's death took place on the 8th of July, 1853.
Hence, he was 86 years old. He was among the pioneers of the West ; having
arrived at Marietta, with his family, 18 Sept., 1795, "having spent 31 days upon the
river." There accompanied him, Col. Israel Putnam, Israel Putnam, Jr., Phinehas
Matthews, with what families they had. Mr. Cutler was occupied for a season as a
surveyor of lands ; and within the first year he received from Gov. St. Clair, com-
missions of Captain in the Militia, Justice of the Peace, Judge of the Courts of
Quarter Sessions and of the Common Pleas. He was henceforth known as Judge
ANDREWS. 15
Cutler. He kept a journal of his hardships, sufferings and toils in the "wilderness
work," which should be published. Judging from a few extracts given by Prof.
Andrews, it would be of permanent interest. In 1801 he was a member of the Ter-
ritorial Legislature, and the next year was a member of the Convention to form a
State Constitution. In 1S18 he went into the State Legislature, and though opposed
and thwarted for several sessions, in his efforts to establish a Common School System,
yet he eventually had the satisfaction to see his views carried out, and himself called
the father of the System. In 1S40 he was a delegate to the Harrisburgh Conven-
tion, which nominated his old friend Gen. Harrison for the Presidency of the United
States.

Directors; Major Winthrop Sargent, Secretary, and Col. Richard Piatt, Treasurer.
The following extract concludes the tract : '' Many settlers are going out this fall,
and in the course of the year 1788, one thousand families will remove to this fertile
country." The prophecy was more than fulfilled.

Published for the information of those Ladies and Gentle-

Liverpool, 1806. [44]
Svo. pp. 60.
*,..■* Besides describing the contents of ten boxes of the aforesaid " Non-descript "
bones, which were collected by Mr. Ashe, Esq., " in person," the author adds
♦' Memoirs of Mammoth and other Extraordinary Bones."
The true story of the " Big-bones," and the manner in which the author collected
them "in person," is this: At Big Bone Lick, Ky., about forty miles below Cin-
cinnati, was a vast depository of the fossil bones of the Mastodon. Dr. \V, Goforth,
of Cincinnati, imbued with a love for science and a steady pursuit of knowledge,
had in 1S03, at great expense, dug up and put together the largest of these. Ashe,
alias D'Arville, persuaded him to intrust them to him as partner, he exhibiting them
in Europe, while he shared the profits with the Doctor. Ashe made a fortune of
them and of his book in London, but they were never heard of again, except that
he had sold them to the Liverpool Museum and taken the proceeds. Thus was
Goforth swindled out of what was no doubt a large part of his small fortune, by this
adventurer.

®,:,* Another edition in one volume was published in London the same year, i2mo.
pp. 366. There remains no doubt that Ashe was a literary impostor ; the first to
discover that a book abusing the people of the United States would be profitable by
its popularity. During his sojourn in America, he passed himself off as a French-
man, under the name of D'Arville. Ashe's obvious fictions and libels destroyed the
credibility of his descriptions; for instance, he speaks of the Great Miami as being
perennial, from having its fountains in Lake Erie and flowing out of that lake. He
also represents a bear', which he had shot as he was descending the Ohio, stopping
the wound with herbs, and he imagines the animal making an indignant speech on
the occasion.
20 AT WATER.
The only part of the book that is not made up of the most ridiculous follies and
falsehoods, is taken veiiatim et lite7-atnm, from the "Navigator."
A severe criticism of Ashe's Travels will be found in the preface of " Schultz's
Travels," in which he declares that "he has made a careful examination of the work,
and found it to abound in mistakes^ tuisrepresentations and fictions in almost every page,"
and also that he "does not believe that any such person ever travelled the route pre-
tended to be described."

The book was severely criticized in all quarters; the Hesperian says, that "as a
literary production it is deplorably deficient." The author makes the assertion in the
Preface, that this is the first history of Ohio, which is erroneous, "Chase's Sketch of
the History of Ohio" having been published five years previously.

The Antiquities were first published in the Anhceologia Americana, vol. i, 1820^

The work contains but a small portion of these ruins, and subsequent examinations
have thrown discredit upon some of the representations made by the author, in points
upon which theories had been erected both by the author and others ; however^ it is
by far the most complete of the early publications on this subject, and considering
the new and inaccessible state of the country at that time, and the discouragements
and difficulties of making detailed examinations, his plans are in general as correct as
could be reasonably expected.

and achievements demand recognition. The selection of names is by far the best
that has been made in works of this class. The portraits are fine specimens of steel
engraving. The Historical Sketch of Ohio occupying pp. 9-56, while though not
without error is concise and well written, and altogether the work is one of which

been traded from tribe to tribe, in the West, for a period of thirty-four years, he
found his way back to Ohio, and related the narrative of his captivity. It was
published in the Cleveland Herald, in 1859, through the medium of which he was
restored to his family.
"Extraordinary as the incidents appear, there is abundant proof of entire truth.
Living witnesses bear testimony of the circumstances of the mysterious loss of the
hero, and his identity is established by incontrovertible proofs." — Preface.

We know of nothing which illustrates more forcibly the rapid growth of the vast
region north-west of the Ohio river, than the contents of this volume. The work is
in reality an autobiographical sketch of the author, accompained by a statement of
such facts and incidents relating to the early settlement of the North Western
Territory as were within his recollection, and might be considered worth preserving.
It is an enlargement of his letters published in 1839 in the Transactions of the
Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, Vol. I, part II.
It was in 1796 that Jacob Burnet, then twenty-six years of age, left his home in
New Jersey, and passed into the western wilderness ; the young lawyer was bound for
Cincinnati. On the eastern edge of this village stood Fort Washington, commanded
at that time by a young lieutenant named William Henry Harrison. The young
man advanced rapidly in his profession and in popular favor, and in 179S we find him
at the head of the Council of five appointed to form a government for the Northwest
Territory ; from this time until his death in 1853, he continued one of the most
respected in the community in which he lived, and occupied numerous positions of
trust in the State. His work with some few exceptions is considered accurate
and is quoted as authority in more modern productions.

BUTTRICK. 47
®»*This work comprises a complete narrative of the Expedition, drawn largely
from original manuscripts, describing in detail the causes which led to the organiza-
tion of the Campaign in Western Pennsylvania; the assembling of the army at
the Ohio river, and its march to Sandusky; the marshalling of the savages upon the
Sandusky Plains to repel the Americans; the Battles of the Wilderness; the retreat
of the army and its return to the border; — followed by an account of the capturing
of stragglers by the Indians; the barbarities inflicted on them ; the escape of Knight
and Slover from captivity; and the terrible death of Crawford, by prolonged and
most cruel torture.
The work also includes biographical sketches of Brigadier General William Irvine,
(commanding at Fort Pitt, 17S1 — 17S3) who authorired, helped to organize, and
issued instructions for the Campaign ; of Colonel William Crawford, commander of
the Expedition ; of Matthew Elliott, a British Captain, in command of the enemy ;
of Captain Pipe, a famous Delaware Indian war-chief; of Simon Girty, and many
others, together with incidents on the battlefield and retreat.
This history has a general value as a study of pioneer life and warfare, and the
sketches of adventure in which it abounds, add greatly to the interest of the main
narrative. The author has succeeded perfectly in confuting the Moravian theory
(that the expedition was intended to destroy the remnant of the Christian Indians
upon the Sandusky) and exposes errors of every degree of importance in the Moravian
record of the incidents of the defeat and rout.
An original and interesting note on Crawford's Campaign may be found in "Chas-
tellux's Travels," Vol. 2, page 137.

•:■:-:■:- T^js is a very interesting narrative and but little known. Mr. Buttrick was
born in Westford, Massachusetts, in 1783, and after making a voyage to the Pacific
and another to the West Indies, was traveling through Canada on his way to Detroit
when the war of 181 2 commenced. Held a prisoner on parole for seventeen days,
he was, through the influence of a friend in Buffalo, allowed by General Brock to
cross the line, but being obliged to leave his conveyance in Canada, did not reach
Detroit. In July, iS[4, in company with four others, he passed down the Allegheny,
probably from Olean, to within thirty miles of Pittsburgh, in a canoe, making but
270 miles in eight days.
The fourth night they slept at the house of a mighty Nimrod, whose twenty or
thirty hounds ate up the provisions for the trip, which had been left in the canoe.
The Penamite furnished the travelers with such new stores as he could command,
but charged them an exorbitant price, and made no abatement on account of the dogs.
This trip extended to Louisville and Cincinnati. He returned on horseback. In
the latter part of March, 1S15, he embarked again at Olean, this time on a flat boat.
There started at the same time no less than 1 200 people, emigrants, mostly from the
State of Maine. His trip on this occasion extended to New Orleans, and the most
interesting part of his narrative details his suffering in returning. This terrible
journey from New Orleans through the Indian country to Cincinnati he performed
entirely on foot, generally alone, always sick, often hungry, and sometimes nearly
starved. He was forty-seven days on the tramp, and in Cincinnati met a man who
started with him and got through in twenty-five. In iSig, at "Portland on Lower
Sandusky Bay," he contracted a disease of the eyes, which resulted in the entire loss
of sight. He says the disease was epidemic there at that time, and " attacked all
ages and sexes without distinction, and with some would in a few days cause total
blindness."

*..;j*The preface informs us that only 300 copies were printed in French and 100
in English.
This work is published in sumptuous style and relates largely to Ohio, and
almost entirely to the Western States. The maps are the very perfection of fine
engraving and of the greatest value to the historian. The charts of the Ohio river
are very minute and complete in detail, showing each creek, settlement, farm, etc.,
along its banks at the time of the author's journey, 1796. An appendix is referred
to, but seems to have been printed only in the French edition.
" This work was printed both in French and English, but not published, at the
time of General Collot's death, which happened in 1S05. More than twenty years
afterwards, the whole impression came into the hands of M. Bertrand, an eminent
publisher in Paris, who reserved one hundred copies of the English, and three hun-

dred of the French Edition, and made waste paper of the remainder. The transla-
tion was made by an English gentleman, under the eyes of the General himself. The
journey was undertaken in 1796, at the request of Adet, minister from France to the
United States, for the purpose of obtaining '-a minute detail of the political, com-
mercial and military state of the western part of that Continent.' The maps and
plates are beautifully engraved by Tardien. A few copies were printed on large
vellum paper." — Rich.

Croghan was the commissioner of Sir William Johnson who was sent to the West
to learn the disposition of the Indian inhabitants, and secure, if possible, their adhe.
sion to the English interest and thus to prevent the recurrence of Indian war. On
the 15th of May, he left Fort Pitt and passed down the Ohio, and on the Sth
of June was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Vincennes. His journal
gives much information in regard to the French and Indians at that period.

to have been edited by Zadok Cramer. The journey from Philadelphia to St.
Clairsville, Ohio, and back to Pittsburgh was performed entirely on foot. The
author gives a most minute description of the numerous towns and localities through
which he passed in southeastern Ohio, included in pp. 89-232. From Maysville the
author descended the Ohio and Mississippi to Bayou Pierre, Louisiana. At pp. 324
Mr. Cuming's tour ends, then follows "Notes of a voyage from Bayou Pierre to
the mouth of the Mississippi in 1799, by a Gentleman," pp. 325-354.
The Appendix pp. 355-504, includes narratives of the greatest importance, many
of which are here published for the first time ; we enumerate those which relate to

«^* Jervis Cutler, son of Ephraim Cutler, is said to be the first emigrant who
landed at Marietta; the illustrations in this work were drawn by himself.
Pages 7-52 are devoted to a general description of the State of Ohio, and at page
42 is a curious view of Cincinnati in 1809, the first engraved. LeRaye's Journal
of his experience among the Sioux Indians forms an important part of the volume
and occupies pages 158-204; it never appeared in any other form. Lieutenant
Cutler was one of the band of emigrants from Massachusetts under General Rufus
Putnam, who in 1788 settled at Marietta.

*V'- Excessively rare. This pamphlet was reprinted in Nahum Ward's "Brief
Sketch of the State of Ohio," Glasgow, 1S22, and London, 1823; and a French
translation was issued in Paris in 1789. It is mentioned in Caleb Emerson's article
on Ohio in the 53d volume of the N. A. Rev. p. 358, in Morse's Geography, and by
Wm. F. Poole in the N. A. Rev. vol. 122, page 261. It has the prediction that the
western rivers will be navigable chiefly by steamboats.
Doubts have been expressed as to Dr. Manasseh Cutler being the author of this rare
tract. In this connection I will say that among the papers of Dr. Cutler may be
seen the original receipt of Dabney and Gushing of Salem, for money paid them for
printing in 1787 a pamphlet on the Western Territory. Ludewig says " with map,"
but I have never seen a copy with the map, and could never ascertain what map it
explained.

■•••".,;,* Mr. Dawson's work can hardly be called History, being a compilation of
personal narratives collected and arranged to preserve the materials of history — nor is
it Biography, because it does not profess to exhibit the private character or history of
the distinguished individual of whom it treats ; but it is certainly a most interesting
and valuable compilation of historical facts, and is one of the most thorough,
complete and authentic treaties relating to the Border Wars of the West, ever
printed. The numerous official and other documents which are crowded into the
volume, startle the general reader, whose object is always to gain information with
the least possible trouble ; but the student, in the acquirement of accurate knowledge
will hail with pleasure the details which are spread before him.
The author in his preface says, "a second edition is now in hands and it will be
before the public in a very short time ; '.' but we can find no record of a second
edition having been issued ; the work is very scarce and each year increases in price.

The folding engraving of Mexican Paintings is iS feet long, and being printed
on tissue paper, is seldom found in perfect condition, and is frequently wanting
altogether; it is, however, of little value. Of the 10 engravings, 4 are colored.
The work is dedicated to Hon. Jacob Burnet, and the preface, 7 pages, is written by
the Right Rev. C. P. Mcllvaine, Bishop of Ohio.
That a work full of learned research, executed in a pure and pleasing style of
language, should make its appearance, at the West, excited extreme wonder among
the Eastern literati. Hear the "North American Review :" — "A quarto volume, from
what when we studied geography, used to be known by the Instructive name of the
'territory northwest of the Ohio,' is something to attract attention, and when we
open it and find it printed in a style which emulates the London press, and is seldom
even attempted in America, we turn to the title page again, to see if we did not
mistake its birth-place. That one of the community in that great pork-mart
(Cincinnati) should write a work upon a subject requiring long study and deep
thought, is to us a pleasing fact."
Of the relative merits of the work we are not capable of judging. The book is
written to sustain the theory that the race of the Mounds came from Asia, and what-
ever may be the truth in regard to the originality of this doctrine, when we consider
the nature and obscurity of the case, there can be but one opinion as to the merits
of the researches of the author, gathering from the four quarters of the globe cor-
roborative testimony of astonishing force. The work taken altogether, may be
considered as an abstract of the heretofore scattered facts bearing upon that question.
Wherever evidence is cited from any author, the writer has preferred to quote the
very words, giving the requisite credit.

Col. DePeyster was a Canadian by birth; he commanded the British forces at
Detroit and Niagara in 1776-17S5, and gallantly defended Detroit against the united
efforts of the French and Americans. Pages 15-228 of the work consists of Poems,
which are principally descriptive of the habits of the Indians, and the scenes in
which the author participated when in America. The Appendix pp. 232-277 consists
of Addresses by the Author, Letters to and from the Indians, and Minutes of Coun-
cils ; all of these relate to the Northwest Territory, and many directly to Ohio.
Col. DePeyster returned to Scotland, where he was Colonel of the Volunteers of
Dumfries, in whose ranks Robert Burns the Poet was a private. A poem supposed
to be the last written by the hand of Burns is entitled : " Poem on Life, Addressed
to Colonel DePeyster, Dumfries 1796," which shows them to have been on intimate
terms.

%vc. pp. 747.
■■•,:,•■■ Another Life of Zeisberger was published in a small pamphlet of 71 pages
printed at Bielefield in 1S49, in the German language, and written by J. J. Heim,
a clergyman of Switzerland ; it is a creditable production, but full of errors in all
points relating to Indian History. There was also a pamphlet issued in London in
1S22, which is a compilation from Heckewelder and Loskiel. The name of Zeisberger
has remained comparatively unknown, although he deserves a most prominent place
in history ; in Loskiel's and Heckewelder's Histories of the Moravian Mission among
the Indians, he is a leading character, and much may be learned from these volumes
concerning his labors.
Mr. DeSchweinitz's narrative goes minutely into details, and is very exhaustive ; it
is most valuable, not merely to the general reader, but for the student of Moravian
History among the Indians ; and as furnishing a book of reference on the subject.
It contains a complete Index, and a Geographical Glossary of the Indian towns,
early settlements, forts, rivers and creeks, which are mentioned in the work, and
which can not readily be found on modern maps.
Zeisberger did more than any other man of his century to develop the Delaware
language ; unfortunately, however, the most important of his works, from a philo-
logical point of view, remain in manuscript. His diary, as kept day by day during
his life, is in the possession of the Ohio Historical and Philosophical Society at
Cincinnati, and when published will be a most valuable acquisition to Western
History. Zeisberger died at Franklin, Summit county, Ohio, in iSoS, aged 87 years.

*^* This work is the production of a gentleman, who was reared in the wilderness,
and was intimately acquainted with the whole subject on which he writes ; it is drawn
from original sources, and almost entirely from personal observation. Brought up in
the wilderness, the inmate of a cabin, Dr. Doddridge spent his whole life in the midst
of those dangers and vicissitudes which made up the life of the borderer, and he has
detailed a variety of minute circumstances, which render the book exceedingly
valuable.
It is one of the original authorities, and although erroneous in some respects, we
have every reason to believe is in the main correct ; and scarcely a subsequent produc-
tion relating to Indian Wars, can be picked up, that does not give extracts, or make
assertions based on " Doddridge's Notes," and most frequently without acknowledg-
ment of the source from which their valuable item is taken. This work and
" Wither's Chronicles," a work of like character and equal merit, have long been
considered of primary importance in collections of books relating to America, and
especially to those relating to the Ohio Valley ; this constant demand has rendered
them very scarce, and only to be had at a high figure.
Doddridge's notes is reprinted almost entire in " Kercheval's History of the
Valley," in which reprint however, Brantz Meyer says, "some liberties have been taken
by way of transposition." From an old newspaper clipping we learn that in the
infancy of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Dr. Doddridge cheerfully gave his
services in its behalf, but in 1S20, he announced his intention of resuming the

Notices concerning Cincinnati. By Daniel Drake.
Cincinnati : Printed for the author.^ at the Press of John
W. Browne & Co. 1810. [345]
^vo. pp. 6o-\- Appendix pp. iv.
*^ Without doubt the rarest work relating to Cincinnati ; I can trace the existence
of but three copies. The author printed a small number for presents to his friends.
It was issued in two parts; the first 28 pages were published about May, 1810, and
the remainder about August of the same year.
The work is divided into five divisions, as follows : I, Topography ; II, Geology ;
III, Climate; IV, Condition of the Town; V, Diseases. The Appendix gives: I,
Columbo Root ; II, New Diseases. As will be seen, the work relates almost entirely
to the Topography, Climate and Diseases of Cincinnati, and contains very little
matter concerning its history. It is generally supposed that the matter contained in
«« Notices Concerning Cincinnati," was incorporated by Mr. Drake in his "Picture
of Cincinnati," published in 1815, and that the latter was an enlargement of the
former; this is erroneous, as the matter contained in the two works is entirely different.
I cannot trace the sale of a single copy.

entirely original, and has been drawn upon largely by all subsequent writers on the

Country, still remains the best account we have of them. Facing the title is an
excellent map of Cincinnati in 1S15, and at page 34 is a map of the Miami Country

*,;* The author passed along the Southern shore of Lake Erie, suffering many
hardships in consequence of the severe winter ; his remarks on the various historic
points of interest through which he passed, show him to have been well informed,
and a man of some culture. He returned from Detroit through Lake Erie, stopping
at Put-in-Bay, then an uninhabited island, where (pages 138-9) he speaks of exploring
a cave of some magnitude, which is no doubt the same one that offers attractions to
the visitor of that resort at the present day.
From Pittsburg he passed down the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans. The
author was evidently a philosopher, but his prophesy (pages 175-6) that Cincinnati
and Marietta would eventually be ruined by the encroachment of the Ohio has not
yet come to pass.

mission to the Indians of Ohio on the occasion of the meeting of a grand council at
Sandusky. He kept a daily journal of his tour and of the incidents of his intercourse
with the Indians, which occupies pp. 13 to 105 of this volume. It forms a narrative
of more than ordinary interest and adds to our store of historical material of that

Palmer or Bradbury, but no lover of America, and a little given to exaggerate his
views of vices and prejudices," which estimate was confirmed by the Loudon Revieiv,
which declared that the " tone of ill-temper which this author usually manifests, in
speaking of the American character, has gained for his work the approbation of
persons who regard that country with peculiar jealousy."

History of the W3^andott Mission, at Upper Sandusk3^ Ohio,

By Rev. James B. Finley.

12»10. pp. 432.
"•■■,:.* The Wyandot mission was the first established by the Methodist Episcopal
Church on our frontier, for the benefit of the Indians; the narrative bears strong
evidence of its being a faithful record of the incidents which transpired within the
knowledge of the author. He commenced his connection with the Wyandots as a
missionary in 1819, and remained among them eight years. Five years before, an
uneducated mulatto, John Stewart \^See Mitchel (Joseph)] who, inspired by a sense of
religious duty, had wandered from place to place in search of some people who were
without religious instruction, arrived at one of the Wyandot villages ; for five years
this African apostle struggled alone, until the Methodist authorities recognized his
labors.
The first chapter of the work is devoted to the author's belief, that the Ten Israel-
itish tribes are the ancestors of the American Indians. Chapter second gives the
peculiar habits, customs and traditions of the Wyandots. Chapter third gives an
account of the introduction of the Gospel among the Wyandots by the African mis-
sionary, Stewart. The rest of the volume is occupied by the personal experience
of the author while resident with the tribe.

%:*The history of Methodism iii the Western Country, was, until the publication
of this work, an unwritten history ; with the exception of a few biographies and
historical sketches, and a few detached and scattered fragments, gleaned from time
to time by historical societies, from the pioneers themselves, but little had been made
a matter of permanent record.
The work relates almost entirely to Ohio, and consists mainly of biographical and
autobiographical sketches; it is written in the entertaining style characteristic of the
author, and to those interested in the memorials of the past connected with the lives
of the early itinerant preachers, and collateral incidents in the history of the West,
cannot fail to be of the greatest interest.

No living man, probably saw or knew more of the Indians in the Northwest
Territory than did Mr. Finley ; during seventy years he was among them, and studied
their history, character and manner of life. In this work he has gathered together
the numerous interesting events, that, in his long experience and observation, were
thought worthy of record ; and has so connected the facts, as to give a very com-
plete, though condensed view of Indian history in the Northwest. The first half of
the work contains a large portion of the matter related in the History of the Wyan-

In 1815 the Rev. Timothy Flint became a Missionary for the Mississippi Valley,
and in the discharge of his itinerant duties, acquired that extensive knowledge of the
country which we find displayed in his "Recollections" and "Geography and
History of the Mississippi Valley." He was a farmer, and teacher in Cincinnati for
several years, where in 1827-30 he edited the " Western Monthly Review."

being lively, flowing, often vigorous, and in general, quite unaffected ; but this is a

was intimately connected with the growth of Methodism in Ohio. He removed
from Virginia in 179S, and settled on the Little Miami river, near Newtown, Ohio,
doing active service for the Church until his death. "As an Associate Judge of
Clermont county, Mr. Gatch sat twenty-two years on the bench of the Court of
Common Pleas, and discharged the important duties of his office in such manner
as to secure the confidence of every one."
The Journal of Mr. Gatch was substantially copied from his own manuscripts, with
but a few alterations in the phraseology, and to those who feel an interest in the
rise of Methodism in this State, the sketch can not fail to be interesting and
instructive.

*-:,* Another edition ; same imprint, 1830,
Originally published in the Philadelphia Port-Folio, edited by the author's brother,
Mr. John E. Hall. They were published in London in the above collected form,
without the author's concurrence. Like all the writings of this gentleman, these
letters are unusually interesting.
For full particulars respecting Judge Hall's useful and laborious life, we refer to
•'Griswold's Prose Writers of America," and to " Duyckinck's Cyclopaedia of Amer-
ican Literature." The North American Review No, xcil contains a severe and
unjust criticism of his works. In our estimation he has been most active in calling
the attention of the world to this western clountry, and to command, not only admir-
ation for its boundless resources, but respect for the intellectual and moral life of the
early settlers. Judge Hall died at his residence near Loveland, Ohio, July 5, 1S6S.
The West owes him a monument and should do justice to his memory.
HAT.L. 141
It is our intention to give as nearly as possible a complete list of the works by this
author. Besides those here enumerated he also published in connection with Thomas
L. McKenney, a "History of the Indian Tribes," illustrated with 120 portraits from
the Indian Gallery at Washington, and published in 3 volumes, folio, at $120 per
set. In this work the letter-press was written entirely by Judge Hall.

*,,* One of the most valuable works to the students of Ohio and Indian History,
and one of the most simple and truthful narratives ever written. The author is very
earnest in the task he has undertaken, and a perusal of the work, cannot but leave
upon the mind of the reader a feeling of attachment for this people, and of commis-
eration and lasting sympathy for the wrongs inflicted upon them by the English.
The author traces the history of the Shawnees as far back as 16S1, and quotes
from good authority. He says in his Preface : "Having for a number of years, been
engaged to carry out the views of the Religious Society of Friends, in their en.
deavors to ameliorate the condition of the Shawnee tribe of Indians, by imparting
to them a knowledge of letters and the domestic arts, etc., I have become very
much attached to them, on account of a near intimacy with them, which enabled me
to become acquainted with the character of this noted and very interesting people ;
and being connected with them too, at a time when one of those severe trials overtook
them, of which the Indians so much complain, more bitterly by far than they do of
the most desolating wars, by which they have been visited — which was the procuring
from them their reservations of land at Wapaughkonnetta and Hog Creek, in the
State of Ohio, containing near one thousand acres. I have been an eye-witness to
most I have related in regard to this people, and in all my intercourse have ever found
them a noble, generous hearted, honest and ever confiding people, patient under
suffering, under a conviction of their weak and helpless condition."

*,:,"•■•■ This scarce little work, although of no intrinsic value, and hardly allied
with our subject, is quite a curiosity in its way. The idea of a " Family Tour" to
the West in iSoo seems rather novel at the present day; the letters, however, gives
some interesting notes of the country around the head of the Ohio.
The Poems, 62 in number, are equally curious. The authoress was evidently of a
religious turn of mind. We quote the fallowing title as a specimen : " Ejaculation;
written, during a cessation of pain from a cramp in the breast, July 5, 1S07."

internal evidence of having emanated from a mind equally uncultivated and vicious.
The misrepresentations with which every page abounds, are outrageously absurd and
improbable. The author's object was evidently to stop the tide of emigration,
which was annually increasing the population and resources of Ohio. The book is
uncommon, I have seen but few copies.

Mr. Heckewelder's contributions to the History of the Indian Nations, particularly
those of the Delaware stock, have been among the most curious and valuable of the
materials which have contributed to found the modern science of Ethnography ;
while his comments have occasionally been of service in the almost equally recent,
but widely extended and laborious study of Comparative Philology. The documents,
however, which he has contributed to this last mentioned object are in general super-
ceded by the more formal and elaborate works of the Rev. Mr. Zeisberger.
An attack upon the character for intelligence, and the Historical authority of Mr.
Heckewelder, was published in the North American Review, shortly after the publi-
cation of his "Indian Nations ;" this was replied to, by William Rawle, which reply
was published in the Memoirs of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, vol. i,
p. 258, and also reprinted in Rondthaler's life of Heckewelder, pp. xi-xxv.
Heckewelder's Indian Nations was also republished in France, in 1822, by Peter
Duponceau, with the correspondence between them and a vocabulary of the Indian
Languages. It was also translated into German by Fr. Hesse, a clergyman of Nein-
burg, and published in Gottingen in 182 1.

Zeisberger, must still be considered in a historical point of view, as one of the stan-
dard records of the times. Mr. Heckewelder was an eye-witness of a great propor-
tion of what he relates, and had the best opportunities of acquiring information.
Of his honesty, too, those who have read his unassuming work, can entertain no
doubt ; he represents things as they were without any attempt at coloring or orna-
ment.

■■■.;* The third edition.
Capt. Imlay deserves the credit of liaving made the longest title on record, but as
a veracious chronicler must do his duty, however painful it may be, we have done it
justice and copied verbatim et literatim. Every student of Western History should
possess this edition.
Imlay is considered one of the best of the early authorities in regard to the Topog-
raphy of the. Western country. This edition is much enhanced in value as a work
of reference, by including the works of Filson, Hutchins and other kindred material
mentioned in the title.
The Map of Kentucky accompanying this edition is much more complete than
that contained in the Second Edition; it is 14x30 inches, very complete and beauti-
fully engraved.
In the note at the bottom of p. 502, also p. 504, the reader is referred to "the
annexed plan" of villages on the Mississippi, which plan however, was never pub-
lished with the work; it probably refers to the one contained in "Hutchins," which
was intended to have been published in this work, but afterwards was not thought of
consequence enough to be engraved.

"V^The original edition, now very scarce. Jacob was an intimate friend of Capt.
Cresap, and the first to raise his voice in his vindication of the charge of having
murdered Logan's family.
Cresap was made an object of hatred, by Jefferson's publication of Logan's speech,
in the Appendix of his "Notes on Virginia," but he has not lacked warm and active
defenders, who have fully vindicated his memory.
Cresap died of fever in New York, on the iSth of October, 1775, at the early age
of 33, and was buried in Trinity church yard.
An article exonerating him will be found in " DeHass' Indian Wars of West
Virginia." See also under Mayer (Brantz).

William Dodge, who reprinted the above rare work, was quite a local character in
his way, and enjoyed a wide reputation, for his peculiarities, as well as by the num-
ber of rare books that passed through his hands. Gowans, in one of his catalogues,
calls him the " literary shoemaker." The writer knew him well ; made many a trade
with " Old Dodge," and always found him square in all his dealings, although n5ne
knew the value of a "nugget" better than he. As he is now no more, we add a
few scraps of his personal history that have come to our notice, and which may
prove interesting.
William Dodge was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, February, 19, iSii ; at a very
early age, he was left, by the death of his father, to support his mother and two sis-
ters ; at this time he was an apprentice to a shoemaker, but had previously been to
sea. When young he learned to play the fife, in which he was quite proficient, and
developed a taste for reading books, mostly pertaining to Indian History. While
working at the shoemaking business at Ipswich, he married Mary Elizabeth Morgan,
by whom he had three children ; she died five years after marriage. He then mar-
ried a second wife, by whom he had two children ; it proved an unhappy union, and
they were divorced.
He married a third wife, Sarah McFarland, widow, May 31st, 1S50, in Cincinnati,
who survived his death. He commenced trading in books about 1853, while work-
JAMES. 193
ing at shoemaking, and kept his stock in the shop where he worked ; in 1859, he
added the purchase and sale of coins to his bookselling and shoemaking. " Penhal-
low's Indian Wars in New England " was his first venture in book publishing, in
1859. When the war commenced he enlisted and served as fife major for three years,
and again one year, making four years in all. After the war, he did not resume his
shoemaking business, but continued dealing in books and coins. The following is a
list of all the books published, or reprinted by him, arranged chronologically :

hallow. Reprinted from the Boston Edition of 1726 with appendix and notes. 4to.

For three years previous to his death Dodge was employed by the city, and worked
on the street, but still retained his fondness for old books. The writer purchased

a few weeks before his death, which took place December 19, 1875.

The missionary eftbrts of David Jones were directed chiefly to the Shawnees and
190 JUBILEE.
Delawares whom he visited in 1772-3; the details of these journeys comprise the
contents of the volume, and form an interesting account of the manners, customs,
language and religious belief of the Indians. One of his companions, while navi-
gating the Ohio in a canoe from Fort Pitt, was the celebrated George Rogers Clark.
Mr. Jones was appointed chaplain in 1794 by General Wayne, and continued in ser-

The original manuscript of this journal is still in existence, and is owned by Hora-
tio G. Jones, of Philadelphia, a grandson of the author.

which relates mainly to the conflicts with the Indians. This edition also contains

Habits and Customs of the Indians, their Language, Dress, Superstitions, etc., etc.
Parts II and III, are devoted to the history of the Indians under the Charge of the
Moravian Mission. An account of the Massacre of the Christian Indians, at Gnadcn-
hutten, is given in part III, p. 180.
These narratives were mostly drawn up from accounts furnished by Gottleib
Spangenberg and David Zeisberger. In the Translation, Mr. La Trobe has added
a most excellent and complete Index.
The original edition in German, was published in 17S9, the translation does not
correspond exactly with the text of this edition, as it omits the names of several of
the early enemies of the mission. While at New Salem, Zeisberger received a copy
of the first edition, and in a letter written at the time, he says of it : "I have read
the History of the Mission with much pleasure, but the orthography of the Indian
words is a disgrace to the book. I wish the English translation could be postponed.
There are persons still living whose names occur as enemies of our Mission, who
have now wholly changed their views and sentiments and are our friends. They ought
not to be exposed, perhaps the best plan would be to omit their names altogether."
He refers to such persons as Elliott and McKee, who were the real cause of all the
misfortunes that had come upon the mission. La Trobe carried out the suggestions
here offered by Zeisberger, and in his translation the names of all former enemies of
the mission are omitted.

sketches will be found to possess an interest beyond the mere details of the lives of
the individuals. They were all of them men who took an active part in the settle-
ment of the Miami country, were prominent in public affairs both civil and military,
and participated in many of the early conflicts with the Indians in Ohio and Ken-
tucky, and in the campaigns of Harmar, St. Clair, Scott and Wayne ; so that, inter-
spersed in the narrative, will be found many details of interest concerning the early
struggles, from the notes and recollections of eye witnesses, which have never before
appeared in print.
[McBride (James).]
Symmes's Theory of Concentric Spheres ; Demonstrating
that the Earth is Hollow, Habitable Within and Widely
Open about the Poles. By a citizen of the United States.
Cincinnati : Printed by Morgan, Lodge & Fisher 1826.
i6tno. pp. 16S. [740]
*.,,* Captain John Cleves Symmes, the originator of the above theory, was a nephew
of the Hon. John Cleves Symmes, who made the first settlement between the Miami
rivers at North Bend.
The book was written by James McBride, of Hamilton, Ohio. According to Capt.
vSymmes, the earth is composed of at least five hollow concentric spheres, with
spaces between each, and habitable as well upon the concave as the convex surface.
Each of these spheres is widely open about the poles. The objections and difificulties
which lie in the way of this theory are met with answers and solutions which are
highly ingenious, and sometimes apparently conclusive. The author of the theory was
intensely desirous to have it subjected to the test of actual experiment. In 1818 he
issued a circular from St. Louis, asking to be furnished with an outfit of one hundred
brave companions, well equipped, to set out from Siberia, in the autumn, with rein-
deer and sleighs. Thus furnished, he engaged to explore the concave regions, and to
discover a temperate country with fertile soil, etc. Capt. Symmes long contemplated
such an expedition; twice — in 1822 and 1823 — he asked Congress for an appropria-
tion for his purpose. He lectured in Cincinnati and other towns in Ohio, 1820-25 ;
in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and other eastern cities in 1826. The work was
unfavorably reviewed in the Amer. Quar. Rev., I, 235—54. ^'^ '•^^ Cincinnati Liter-
ary Gazette, Vol. I, No. 12, will be found in full T. J. Mathews' Lecture opposing the
theory, also published in a separate pamphlet, [which see] and much interesting
matter connected with the subject is scattered throughout the work.
So entirely convinced was Symmes of the soundness of his theory, that for ten
years, though laboring under constant pecuniary embarrassment and buffeted by
ridicule and sarcasm, he persevered in his endeavors to convince others, and interest
them in it. The theory finally cost him his life. Wearied and worn out by constant
labor and excitement, he died at Hamilton, Ohio, May 29, 1829, aged 49 years.
Symmes' Theory is ridiculed in " Symzonia ;" a Voyage of Discovery, by Capt.
Adam Seaborn, i2mo. pp. 248, New York, 1820. An extended criticism will be
found in American Quarterly Review, Vol. i, page 235 ; this was responded to, by
J. N. Reynolds in a pamphlet [which see.]

*.^*The original edition of this popular work. It was written at the instance of,
and published by Lewis Collins, afterwards himself the author of the well known
" History of Kentucky." It is the most complete collection of captivities and early
M CLUNG. 225
adventures ever published in one volume. Daniel Boone had been a resident of
Maysville only a few years before Mr. McClung settled there. Simon Kenton,
William Kennan, James Ward, Charles Ward, Major Hugh McGary, Thomas
Marshall, and other heroes of the "Adventures," were acquaintances or personal
friends of the author, some of them as early as 1806 ; and he had every facility to
verify, and was himself thoroughly assured of the accuracy of the sketches. An
excellent Biographical Sketch of the author will be found in the edition of 1872.

*g.* These sketches are written in a plain, manly style, and are most interesting to
the Western reader. The first biographical sketch is of General Nathaniel Massie,
and occupies some 70 pages of the volume. The second is of General Duncan
McArthur, and takes up about 112 pages. Following this, is some account, made
up principally of interesting anecdotes, of Captain William Wells, one of the active
spirits of Wayne's army, 1794. Then comes a sketch of the life of General Simon
Kenton, filling about seventy pages, and closing the volume. Of all these men, Mr,
McDonald was a contemporary ; a young adventurer under Massie, an intimate of
McArthur, an acquaintance of Wells, and a companion of Kenton. He was an
actor in many of the scenes which he describes ; and the incidents detailed in his
volume, which he did not witness himself, were communicated to him by the actors
soon after they had taken place. He is thus original authority, and the fullest
reliance may be placed in his statements.

Captain Jack, of the French and Indian war, was a real historical personage, known
all along the Pennsylvania Border. In Hazard's Register there is frequent mention
of his name, and George Croghan speaks of him also. The author has seized on
excellent material for romance, and made of Jack, who lived in many a fireside

*,j,* The author seems to have carefully sifted Doddridge, Withers, Pritts, DeHass,
McClung and McDonald, and has connected chronologically, the more salient and
memorable of the Combats, Massacres and Captivities, chiefly embraced between
Dunmore's War of 1774, and the Battle of Fallen Timbers, in 1794, when the power
of the Western Confederation was forever crushed by "Mad Anthony" Wayne.
The value of the work is enhanced by a full index.

October 20, 17S15, and died in Cincinnati, November 5, 1852. He began the practice
of medicine in Cincinnati in 1S04. In December, 1S18 he procured from the Ohio

The volume describes a journey from Boston to Marietta in 178S, and the daily
life of the first settlers of Ohio. As it is a record made at the time the events
occurred which it describes, the book is a valuable contribution to the history of the
State. The original MS. is in the possession of Rev, Richard S. Edes, of Bolton,
Massachusetts, and the Notes are by Wm. M. Darlington, Esq., in his usual good
taste and judgment. A full and useful index accompanies the work.

The main authorities for this thorough vindication of Capt. Cresap's memory, are
the extremely rare little volumes "Jacob's Life of Cresap," published in 1826, and
the letter of Gen'l George Rogers Clark, published in the first edition, but in this
edition, first printed from the original MS., in Appendix No. i. Mr. Mayer nar-
rates at length, the manner and period of the death of Logan, which were for a long
time in doubt. The chief was assassinated by one of his own tribe, in revenge for
having chastised his wife— a privilege which Indian sachems claimed over every
member of their clan. A complete Index accompanies this edition.

*j,* We learn the following from the "Advertisement to the reader," — " The public
have been already informed that the three French volumes of which the following is
a Translation, were found in a French Prize, taken and carried into St. Christophers,
and brought here by a gentleman from that place. Their authenticity can not be
doubted, as they were published at the royal office, and consequently, by order of the
French King. As there were at that time, but one copy of them in this place,
(since that time, several were found in a prize carried into New York) and that in a
language not general known, it was thought that a publication of them might be of
service as well to discover the vile misrepresentations of facts of which the French
have been guilty, as to make known the falsity of their pretensions to Countries to
which they have not the least shadow of Right or Claim."
This work is of the greatest interest, as it gives us from original sources, valuable
information in regard to the French Claims on the Ohio River. We find Trent,
Croghan, Stobo and Washington, mentioned on almost every page. pp. 124-173,

French author, who evidently was not a believer in the story of Washington's truth-
fulness, for he uses the note "atrocious lie " on several occasions, pp. 185-191 gives
a translation of a letter written by Robert Stobo, at Fort Du Quesne, who was one

of the hostages given for a faithful performance of the Capitulation granted to the

«..j*This scarce work has comparatively little of intrinsic value, to merit the avidity
with which it is sought. It is a compilation, principally from available sources, of
the narratives which in their original form, had, even at the date of its publication,
become scarce or difficult to procure. These have since been so often reprinted, that
they would seem to have superseded the necessity which called for the publication of
this volume. But every succeeding year brings with it an augmentation of the price
at which it is sold. It has in turn become as rare as the works it sought to preserve
from oblivion. The narratives relate principally to the " Dark and Bloody Ground,"
but a few entitle the work to a place in the '' Ohio Bibliography," among them, " Dr.
Knight and John Slover's Narratives" which give an account of the death of Col.
Crawford. "Adventures of Jackson Johonnot," " Harmer's Defeat," "General

facts, and puritan domesticity in the East. He found delightful companions in the
trees, and charming hospitality among the flowers, and he gave to his countrymen a
correct and impressive idea of the products and promise of the Great West, but
more especially of Ohio and Kentucky.

in what was then known as the " Miami Country." The larger part of the book, and
perhaps the most valuable as material for history, is the appendix, consisting of letters
and extracts upon topics of general interest relative to the Miami Country, dating
from 17S9 to 1799. They consist mainly of letters from John Cleves Symmes the
original proprietor, to his associate, Jonathan Dayton ; all relate to the complicated
affairs of the new purchase and its management, and here for the first time appear
in print.

*',/' A record of interesting incidents connected with the formation of the Wyan-
dot Mission, through the agency of John Stewart. This remarkable man was a negro^
born in Powhatan county, Virginia; he believed that he was called by Divine
authority to preach the Gospel to the Pagan Indians of the Northwest. He made
his way through the wildnerness from Marietta on foot, without guide or knowledge,
of the country, and scarcely knowing when his journey was to end. He arrived
among the Wyandots at Upper Sandusky, during the progress of one of their savage
feasts, and gained their good will, by his fervent manner and mild zeal. He

remained among tliem for seven years, being completely successful in his labors,
which were finally recognized by the Methodist Church in 1820. The life and labors
of this extraordinary man are rivalled only by those of the early Jesuit missionaries.

•■•.;;:."*' This volume differs from other histories of Ohio in general and detail ; it omits
tedious generalizations, and confines itself to facts and incidents calculated to interest
and enlighten the reader; the editor has arranged it so as to be interesting as well
as instructive.
The stone, cave, mound, and fort history as left by the ancient races in these val-
leys, is based on the theory that the first of mankind, who sojourned in what is now
Ohio, came to these valleys from the north-east highlands, and that in the progress
of time, other races approximating a higher civilization, entered the valleys from
different directions, and left their monuments in mounds, etc. — more enduring
than the pyramids.
Then the legendary history of the Indians is sketched, with their traditions, almost
as ancient as the mound history. These are followed by the white explorers, LaSalle,
Gist, Rogers, etc., with narratives of captives taken in war, legends and traditions ;
then come the missionaries, a century ago, and their efforts to convert the heathen for
thirty years.
The first settlements in eastern Ohio, and at Marietta, are next described, with
accounts of the Indian wars that followed, and incidents and adventures of Putnam,
Heckewelder and their associates in founding the State. The work then concludes
with copious statistical matter which will be valuable to the future historian. Un-
fortunately the work has no Index, which is an unpardonable neglect in a modern
historical work.
In this connection we wish to call attention to an interesting Map of the Mus-
kingum Region, from the Journal of Gen. Bouquet, which may be found in a French
publication, " St. John's Letters d' un Cultivateur Americain," Vol. 3, p. 413, Paris,
1787.

A work of great value to the historical and political student ; the result of the
careful researches of many years ; it is the only systematic arrangement of this por-
tion of the history of the United States, and can be fully relied on for adherence to
truth and accuracy.
The first volume is principally occupied with a relation of the French and Spanish
discovery of the Territory, and the association of the colonial governments of these
nations with the Indians, and their wars with the various tribes inhabiting it. Much
of the largest portion of Vol. 2 is devoted to a narration of the Indian wars of the
States bordering the Ohio. Chapter i is entitled " Manners and Customs of the
Frontier Population." Chapter 11 " Indian Warfare and its effects upon the Frontier
People." Chapters ni, iv and V, " Indian hostilities upon the Ohio." Chapter ix,

of the sentiment of Freedom, to the ascendancy of which, Thomas Morris gave an

matter not to be found elsewhere. The publication was discontinued at the end of
volume 2. During the publication of Vol. 2, the parts were issued at irregular
intervals ; in several cases, three months elapsing between them ; to this, in part, we
assign the cause of the scarcity of complete sets, which now sell at high prices, con-
sidering that the publication is of so recent a date. Perfect copies contain a fac-simile
at Vol. I, page 289, and a folded map of '' Braddock's Route" at page 529, vol. 2.
The work is indirectly connected with the History of Ohio, in almost every
particular.

■\* A reprint of the original edition of this valuable, and heretofore rare work*
Mr. Craig, in editing this work, instead of undertaking the task of the Historian, by
forming, from the documents in his possession, a connected history of the early
struggles for the settlement and development of this portion of the West, wisely
preferred to let the actors speakTor themselves. The result, is an exceedingly valuable
collection of rare documents and other materials, preserved in the best form for the
use of future historians.
The index alone will convey an idea of the richness of this collection. Among
many others, the following may be enumerated: Washington's Journals of 1753,
1754 and 1770; Frederick Post's Journal from Philadelphia to the Ohio, 1758;
George Croghan's Journal, 1765; General Richard Butler's Journal to the Falls of
the Ohio, 1785; Arthur Lee's Journal, to the Northwestern Indians 1785; a large
number of articles relating to the Indians, etc. Two early books are reprinted entire
in its pages; Smith's "Account of General Bouquet's Expedition against the Ohio
Indians in 1764," and " A memorial, containing a summary view of facts, with their
authorities, in answer to the observations sent by the English Ministry to the Courts
of Europe." Though there were three editions of this latter work published, it is
among the scarce American books, and is very valuable as giving the French view
of the situation in the West at that time.
Mr. Craig was peculiarly fitted for such an undertaking. No one could bring to
thetask projected, a keener spirit of research, or more cultivated taste for archaeological
pursuits than he. Born in the redoubt built by Colonel Bouquet, in 1764, his life,
extending to more than three score and ten, was spent within rifle-shot of the place
of his birth. A full and accurate index accompanies this edition, which greatly
enhances its value.

%* The General Assembly of Virginia, at their session commencing on the 20th of
October 17S3, passed an act, authorizing their delegates in Congress to convey to the
United States all the right of that commonwealth to the Territory Northwest of the
Ohio river. This act of cession contained the following reservation : " That in case
the quantity of land on the Southeast side of the Ohio, upon the waters of Cumber-
land river, and between the Green and Tennessee rivers, which have been reserved
by law for the Virginia troops upon continental establishment, should prove
insufficient for these legal bounties, the deficiency should be made up to the said
troops in good lands, between the Scioto and Little Miami."
The land embraced in this reservation constitutes the Virginia Military District in
Ohio, In this work the author fully limits the boundary of this district, and
analyzes numerous cases at law that have arisen in the disputed territory.

•'•'.;,* This work professes to give an account of the Mound-Builders in America.
De-coo-dah was an aged chief of the Sioux Nation, from whom the author claims to
have received much valuable information. He made personal examination of a large
number of mounds and fortifications, and although an uneducated man, entirely
unfamiliar with science, he has added considerable information to our knowledge of
aboriginal antiquities. Mixed with the real, however, is a large amount of unreliable
tradition, and the work must be read with care and discrimination.
About one fourth of the work relates to the antiquities in Ohio, and the numerous
plates afford very clear illustrations of the works themselves.
The following is the opinion of Wills DeHass, the author of "Indian Wars in
Western Virginia," regarding this work, and which here appears in print for the first
time: "If the ' traditions of De-coo-dah ' are to be received as the actual views of a
real ' live Indian,' and not a myth, then are we to regard them as more the vagary of
a very imaginative chieftain, than the utterance of an oracle. The ' traditions ' are
a novelty in their line, they may serve to amuse, but not instruct in American Archae-
ology, The earth-works described, particularly those of the Northwest, do not
belong to the class of true antiquities; De-coo-dah may speak correctly of his red
brethren, but he knows nothing of the origin, history or purposes of the older class

of antiquities. The descriptions of the works at Grave Creek, Marietta, Newark,
Paint Creek, etc., etc., are meagre in the extreme. . . . The writer of this
volume I knew well, he visited Washington in 1851-2, and induced Prof. Henry, of
the Smithsonian Institution, to undertake the publication of material composing this
volume. Prof. H. turned the matter over to myself, requesting me to put the work in
form for publication. I consented, and had entered upon its preparation for the
press, when I became satisfied of the crudity of Mr. Pidgeon's observations and
deductions, and declined the work, and the Smithsonian the publication. The
traditions of De-coo-dah, I regard as measurably fabulous."

in breadth of conceptions, its details, and its results, has been perhaps the most

%j* This Second Journal of Post contains a continuation of his negotiations with
the Indians on the Ohio, to withdraw them from the French interest, and bring about
Peace. The journal of his first visit is given in "Thomson's Enquiry into the
causes of the Alienation of the Delaware and Shawnee Indians from the British
Interest," [which see].
Post had been long known to the Indians, and by a uniform upright conduct,
obtained among them the character of an honest man, and his management and
success, together with the fatigues and hazards he underwent, are narrated with the
same artless simplicity that appears in his former journal. He was an unassuming,
honest German, a Moravian. He came from Germany to Pennsylvania, in 1742. He
returned to Europe, in 1749. He again revisited this country, and while at Bethlehem,
was prevailed upon to carry a message to the Western Indians, and afterward
attempted to convert the Indians in Ohio. He took up his abode about the year
1762, in Tuscarora Town, a hundred miles west of Fort Pitt, but failed in establish-
ing a mission at this place. He abandoned the project, and left this country for the
bay of Honduras, to preach the gospel to the Musquito Indians, who were probably
more tractable.

" It exhibits in a still stronger light the intrepidity and self-devotion of this noble
Quaker. Since the days of Regulus, no more perilous mission has been undertaken
by a single man. Braddock had been defeated, and eight hundred white soldiers
slain. Forbes was preparing for his invasion of the Indian territory. Every step
through the Wilderness, the most appalling dangers thickened around him. A
hundred times were savage arms raised to destroy him, and a hundred times, by little
less than miracles, the blows were averted. It is impossible to exaggerate the
importance of the work he accomplished. By his persuasions he detached the Ohio
Indians from the French interest, and the empire of that nation in the West fell." —

1755 \which sce\ with additions and corrections by Pownall.
Pownall says in his introduction that "a pirated copy of Evans' map, was in a
most audacious manner, published by Jeffreys, and falsely sold as Evans' map
improved, by which that very laborious and ingenious, but poor man, was deprived
of the benefit of his work. Owing to the ignorance of the engraver it can scarcely
be called a copy, and, as respects the face of the country, might as well be a map of
the moon."
The work is principally valuable in connection with our subject, as containing in
the Appendix:
"Extracts from the Journal of Captain Harry Gordon, chief engineer in the
Western Department in North America, who was sent from Fort Pitt on the River
Ohio, down the said river, etc., to the Illinois, in 1766."

®.j* Priest was an uneducated man, by trade a harness maker. His book was com-
posed apparently from the relations of travellers, and from the publications of Mr.
Atwater and the Rev. Mr. Harris. The production, though highly amusing as a
collection of wonders, does not rank as a work of authority. He has fortunately
however, enlightened us in some cases ,as to the source from whence these fictions are
derived. The Englishman, Ashe has palmed upon him at least two entire descriptions
of his own manufacture; we refer to the grave near Marietta, with mats and hiero"
glyphics, and the cavity near Zanesville, containing metallic spheres.
Although an ignorant man, he made the discovery of the stump of a tree in Ohio,

*.H,*The map shows the location of the lands belonging to the Ohio and Scioto
Companies. The Table shows the times at which the payments for the lands are to
be made. So little being known in regard to the Scioto Company, I have deemed it
of interest to give the following note, contributed by Mr. John M. Newton, of the
Mercantile Library, Cincinnati.
The origin of the Scioto Company is quite obscure. After the Revolution, the United
States found themselves quite poor and unable to pay their debts. Congress had
issued to officers and soldiers certificates of indebtedness, called indents. As the
government could not cash these indents, they depreciated so much as to be worth
but ten cents on the dollar. Many of the officers and soldiers therefore came out of
the war ruined. Congress sitting at New York, in 17S7, had admitted the Territory
Northwest of the River Ohio, and could pay their indebtedness in land. A number
of New England officers formed themselves into a company at Boston, called the Ohio
Company, and -sent Rev. Manasseh Cutler and Winthrop Sargent as their agents to
the Congress, to obtain as large an amount of land as they could for the indents which
they held. Cutler kept a journal in which he says, date of July 20, 1787 : " Colonel
Duer came to me with proposals from a number of the principal characters of the
city to extend our contract and take in another company, but that it should be kept a pro-
found secret." This other company was taken in, and all difficulties in the way were
286 PUTNAM.
removed. The Ohio Company made a contract to purchase about five millions of
acres, and Duer and associates organized another company which contracted from the
Ohio Company, for one and one-half millions. These contracts were simply a right
to purchase, for the money was not as now paid over to the United States. The Ohio
Company paid in indents and made settlements at Marietta, Ohio, and vicinity, while
the Trustees of the Scioto Company, William Duer, Royal Flint and Andrew Craigie
sent Joel Barlow, the revolutionary poet, to Europe, to sell lands for which they had
contracted to buy, but which had not yet been bought. Barlow went first to London,
but could not succeed there, and then went to Paris in the summer of 1789. In July
of that year, the Bastile was taken. Society was greatly disturbed; Many feared
the total destruction of their property, and at this crisis, Barlow, with the aid of
William Playfair, composed and sent out this prospectus glowing with the advantages
which a state of nature and a virgin soil afforded the occupant. Ships were to take
the purchasers over the sea, habitations and a year's provisions would be given them^
In exchange they were to pay about sixty-five cents an acre. Had indents remained
at the great state of depreciation of ten cents on the dollar, all would have worked
well. Barlow would have remitted the amount of his sales to Duer, who would have
bought up the indents at the lowest figure, would have paid Congress, and the Scioto
Company would have inade a large amount; but unfortunately for it, as soon as the
States formed a confederation, Holland stepped in, and began to buy largely all our
government certificates ; these of course quickly arose in value, and the Scioto
Company was ruined, and likewise ruined about five hundred French emigrants, who
had crossed the sea, trusting to the promises held out in the prospectus. Duer and
Craigie lost all they had, and the former died a prisoner for debt. In five years from
the time when the contract was made with our Congress, the Scioto Company was
not in existence, and no one could be found in answer to a demand which Congress
made, who ever knew anything al^out it, or ever had any connection with it.

In 1796, Blennerhasset arrived in America from England, and settled on an island
in the Ohio river, below Parkersburgh, where he built an elegant residence, furnished
with taste and elegance. Burr was his guest in 1805, and succeeded in involving him
in his treasonable schemes. He invested largely in boats, provisions, arms and
ammunition, left his home and friends, and went to Kentucky. Warned of Burr's
real designs, he returned to his home, greatly disheartened, but, through Burr's
solicitations, and the persuasions of his wife, he persisted.
His property was seized and sold, and he was prosecuted as an accomplice of Burr,
but was discharged, broken in mind, and bankrupt. He was subsequently a cotton
planter, removed to Montreal, in 1S19, and practiced law, but in 1S22, removed to
the West Indies, and died in 1831.

* J-' A history of St. Clair's unfortunate campaign, which resulted in a terrible
defeat, and the slaughter of eight hundred soldiers by the Ohio Indians. The author
has endeavored to vindicate himself from what he terms " the bitter calumnies, gross
misrepresentations, and vile falsehoods, spread abroad to every region by means of
public prints, and every species of misconduct was attributed to me."
"St. Clair's voluminous defense is rendered nugatory and futile by the passionate
ejaculations of Washington, when Major Denny called him from a dinner-party to
announce the defeat. Overcome with surprise and indignation, Washington cursed
the beaten general with exceeding fervor, adding: ' Did not my last words warn him
against a surprise.'" — Field.

*,j,* One of the scarcest works on our list, but of no great value, historically. The
author recites his adventures as a soldier in the Revolution, and subsequent residence
in Pennsylvania. He was among the first settlers that came to Fort M'Intosh ; was
a soldier under St. Clair, and dug the first well in Cincinnati, at Fort Washington.
Owing to his success in finding water, he was known among the early settlers at the
" Water Witch." The plates, — a curiosity in themselves — represent "John R. Shaw
as a Prodigal," "John R. Shaw as a soldier," etc. The copy which we examined is
in the Cincinnati Public Library.

•■•'^.■■•■Published first in the "Cincinnati Daily Times," July 3d, 1S69, and reprinted in
pamphlet form by Josiah Drake, of Cincinnati, a brother of Samuel G. Drake, the
Historian of Boston.
The facts incidentally stated are, that Colonel Paul was the uncle of the late Judge
Paul Torrence, the father of the present Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, (1S69)
and that he built on Brush Creek, in Adams county, the pioneer furnace of Southern
Ohio, and that Colonel James Paul was born in 1757; his father, George Paul, moved
on the farm in 1768, and died in 177S; and that Col. James Paul died July 9th,
1841, age eighty-four years, and that he was twenty-five years old at the time of
Crawford's defeat, and was unmarried, are facts that might be thought of but little
importance to some, but the future historian may regard them as of inestimable value.

In January, 1856, a negro slave, called John, was missing from a plantation in Mason
county, Kentucky. In August, 1856, a friend of the owner recognized John at Ober-
lin, and with the aid of friends from Kentucky arrested him with the intention of
taking him back. They took him to Wellington, where he was rescued by a large
body of persons from Oberlin and Wellington — hence the title. Thirty-seven of the
rescuers were indicted by the State, and confined for many months in the Cleveland
jail, while the trial progressed. They were finally acquitted and great was the
rejoicing. The account of the affair is contained in 2S0 double column, solidly
printed pages.

particularly allied to our subject, as the whole period of his captivity was passed in

*,*When the Indians became troublesome in iSii, and a general Indian War was
expected, Colonel Smith, too old for actual service, but still having considerable of
the old leaven of patriotism in him, wrote out and published the abave treatise.
There is not much new matter in this volume. It is little more than those por-
tions of his "captivity," relating to Indian warfare, Rearranged and connected. No
one can read it without being convinced of the wisdom of the tactics he suggests,
and even of their applicability to Indian warfare in these later days.
This volume is excessively rare.

Remarkable Occurrences lately discovered among the Peo-

Nature; or Shakerism Developed. By James Smith.
Paris, Ky. : Printed by Joel R. Lyle, 1810. [1059]
8vo. pp. 24.
*,;,* In religious matters, Colonel Smith was an enthusiast ; he was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and spent much of his time in his later years, as a missionary
among the Indians. On his return from one of his missionary excursions into
Tennessee, he found that his son James, had during his absence, joined the Shakers,
and had gone with his family to a settlement which that sect had just formed on
Turtle Creek, Ohio, (near Lebanon). He followed, "to see what sort of people they
were," lived with them only a short time, but long enough to be disgusted with the
whole fraternity. His son James, who before joining the Shakers "was naturally
friendly, a dutiful son, a kind husband, and a tender father," seems to have changed
his whole nature, and appeared to be divested of natural affection toward his wife,
Polly, and other connections. She, on going to visit her relatives with her father-in-
law, was advertised by her husband, as having left his '' house and board without
any just cause," and on her return, at the instigation of the elders, he refused
to receive her, or allow her to see her children "without she should receive their
testimony." Thus driven from the settlement, she returned to her friends in Ken-
tucky. Colonel Smith was greatly exasperated at the conduct of his son, and opened
his batteries on the leaders of the Shakers, exposing them socially, theologically and
politically in the above pamphlet.
This work brought out a rejoinder by Richard McNemar, one of the Shaker
leaders, and Colonel Smith again appeared in print in the following pamphlet:
Smith (James).
Shakerism Detected. Their erroneous and treasonous Pro-
ceedings, and false Publications, contained in Different
Newspapers, Exposed to Public View, by the Depositions
of Ten Different Persons, living in various parts of the
States of Kentucky and Ohio, Accompanied with Re-
marks. By Col. James Smith of Kentucky.

*...•■• These pamphlets had no result so far as the son was concerned ; he remained
with the Shakers, and Colonel Smitii spent the rest of his days, thus embittered by
the unnatural conduct of his son, chiefly with his step-children, the Irvins, in
Washington county, Kentucky, where he died in 1812.
The last sentence of the above pamphlet ends as follows : " When we consider
the many falsehoods that have already been proved against them, and that their
system is founded on falsehood and supported by secrecy and deceit. Who can believe
A Shaker ! ! !

SMITH. 317
The authorship of this work has been ascribed to Thomas Hutchins, whose name
is found on the plates, and with more propriety to Bouquet himself: The following
extract, however, from Dr. Smith, to Sir William Johnson, dated Philadelphia, Jan-
uary 13, 1776, now in the Library of Congress, seems to decide the question: "I
propose sending you a copy of Bouquet's Expedition to Muskingum, which I drew up
from some papers he favored me with, and which is reprinted in England, and has
had a very favorable reception."
This book is an authentic and reliable narrative of one of the earliest British mili-
tary expeditions into the Territory northwest of the Ohio river. It narrates the
details of the first victory, gained over Indian forces, by English troops, after the
savages had been taught the use of fire-arms. The whole narrative is most
entertaining for the interest of the subject, and for the quaintness of that highly
literary style of the last century.

A Review of the late decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio,

Episcopal Church in the U. S : or in other words, to

the privilege of holding within this State, property to an
extensive and indefinite amount : and which gives these
Itinerant preachers, virtually, full power to wrest away at
pleasure, by ecclesiastical and legal processes, all the
Church property of their membership in Ohio, amounting
in valuation to $350,000, more or less. The whole giving
a development of the Principles of the Government of the
M. E. Church — showing that the creation of such a cor-
poration, holding such a vast amount of property, is a
dangerous engine in a free government. By C. Springer.

*^.*This tract, printed without title page, and with the vague title "To the
Respectable Public," is of the greatest interest, it being the first publication relating
to the Miami Purchase. The only copy of the tract we can trace is in the Ohio Hist.
Society Library, Cincinnati. It is signed, John Cleves Symmes, and dated at Tren-
ton, November 26th, 1787.
A few extracts from this book will prove interesting. The object of the publica-
tion was to raise two hundred thousand dollars in liquidated certificates, in order to
discharge the first payment on the purchase, which it was necessary to make, previous
to any entry or settlement on the land; for this purpose land warrants were issued by*
Symmes for any number of acres, not less than 160, at two-thirds of a dollar per acre,
. . . After the first day of May next, the price of the land will be one dollar
per acre, and after the first day of November next, the price will be raised still higher,
if the country is settled as fast as is expected.

The main facts of this narrative were previously published by Mr. Taneyhill, in a
series of articles in the Barnesville (Ohio) '• Enterprise," under the nom de plume of
"R. King Bennett," the various statements were afterward verified, the narrative
enlarged and reprinted. It is a very curious and interesting account of the achieve-
ments of Joseph C. Dylks, who appeared for the first time, no one knew how or
whence, at a meeting of the Ohio Methodists in the open air; he laid claim to
extraordinary physical and spiritual powers, his possession of which, his disciples
unhesitatingly believed.
The delusion of which it treats, is extraordinary in its nature, and the story is
instructive and significant, as an example of the credulity of a comparatively
educated and intelligent people.

*^:ft This is a very judicious and interesting collection of material already printed in
one form or another ; the author assumes no other relation than that of Editor, and
as such has done his work very thoroughly. As the dates on the title-page indicate,
the work is devoted entirely to the aboriginal history of the State, previous to the
Territorial period. The early Jesuit Missions, the wars of the Eries and Iroquois, the
border warfare which was raging for nearly a quarter of a century between the
inhabitants of Pennsylvania, and the Delawares, Shawanese and Wyandots, are the
subjects which nearly fill the volume. Besides the mass of matter which such a vol-
ume is expected to contain, portions of the following narratives are given : "Gist's
Diary," "Roger's Expedition," " Bradstreet's Expedition," "Bouquet's Expedi-
tion," ''Clark's Campaign," "Crawford's Campaign," "Smith's Captivity," etc.
Taylor's Ohio was intended as a text book for schools, and a very large number
circulated throughout the State, but notwithstanding this fact, it is now quite scarce,
and each year witnesses an advance in price.

*.;,* Written by Charles Thomson, afterwards Secretary of Congress.
It seems strange that the English had so few Indians in their interest, while the
French had so many at command, and that the neighboring tribes in particular, who,
at the arrival of the English in Pennsylvania, and for a long series of years afterwards,
showed every mark of affection, should become their most bitter enemies.
One of the principal causes of the hostility of the Pennsylvania Indians was the
wicked craft practiced upon them by Governor Thomas Penn, and other proprietors
in 1737. Certain chiefs having been called together by the speculators, two persons
were found to testify that they were present at a council fifty years before, at which
as much land was ceded to William Penn, as a man could walk around in a day and
a half. There was a chief living who could have proved this testimony false, but he
was carefully kept in ignorance of the council, and by mean fraud, endless perjury,
and templing gifts, the deed was ratified. To locate as large a territory as possible,
a trained pedestrian was employed, who was met at appointed stations by refresh-
ments, and thus was enabled to traverse a route which cut off a million acres from
the Indian territory. Less than one-third that quantity of land was the amount
which the Indians had been led to expect would be ceded. Endless conferences, and
numerous councils, were followed by bloody massacres.
Mr. Thomson's work fully analyzes the cause of the alienation, which the heroic
Quaker, Christian Post, hazarded his life to overcome. Post's Journal is also pub-
lished in " Proud's History of Pennsylvania," vol. ii, appendix; in the "Early
History of Western Pennsylvania," page 7^ appendix; and in the "Olden Time,"

valuable by the elaborate notes of Mr. Goodman. The official papers from which

the work was compiled, were procured from the English Archives, through the
medium of Mr. John Lathrop Motley.
There have been many conflicting statements regarding the English post generally
known as Pickawillany ; historians have disagreed as to location and dates, and some
have even expressed doubts as to whether such a place existed. However, there now
remains no doubt but that the post called " Pickawillany " or by others " Picktown,"
was located on the west side of the Great Miami River, at the mouth of what after-
ward became known as Loramie's Creek; it was destroyed by the French, in 1752,
and was never rebuilt. Mention of the post is made in "Gist's Journal" also in
" Croghan's Journal," audit is located on " Evans" and "Otten's" maps published in
1875- _
Previous to the publication of this work, the information regarding Pickawillany
was quite meagre, consisting mostly of scattered paragraphs in " Howe's Ohio,"
•'Taylor's Ohio," "Atwater's Ohio," etc.

*,,;•■■ The Rev. Manasseh Cutler was born at Killingly, Conn., May 2Sth, 1742.
He graduated at Yale College in 172 q, then studied law and was admitted to the bar.
In 1787, Dr. Cutler became associated with the Ohio Company, whose leading spirits
were Revolutionary officers, for the purchase of land north of the Ohio. In June,
17S7, he went to New York as the Agent of the company, to negotiate with the
American Congress for the purchase. With consummate tact, he accomplished his
mission, and made a contract for the purchase of over a million and a half acres, at
two-thirds of a dollar per acre.
In July, 17SS, Dr. Cutler made a journey to the new settlement at Marietta, and
the Journal he kept during his stay is in the possession of Mrs. S. C. Dawes, of that
place. The present pamphlet consists of extracts from the original journal. It is

respects its surface and climate, this was the best and most complete that had
appeared up to the time of its publication ; it may be observed, however, as curious,
that this traveler, who evinces such accurate knowledge of the United States, should
have been a foreigner, who, according to his own account, was in the country only
a comparatively short time.

seen a more complete local history, nor one in which the author has more success-
fully labored to present the annals and statistics, and the local biographies of a com-
munity, with fidelity and elaborate minuteness ; it is one of that limited class of
historical works, for which the reader will feel that he owes a debt of gratitude to
its scrupulous author.

*,:.* Sabin erroneously states that the author was R. J. Meigs.
This pamphlet, one of the rarest relating to the State, is of little value historically.
It was published by Nahum Ward, of Marietta, to induce emigration to his section
of the State. Mr. Ward owned numerous tracts of land in the counties of Wash-
ington, Meigs, Athens, Hocking, Gallia and Lawrence, "which are offered for sale
in tracts of 40, 80, 100, 160, 200 and from that to 3000 acres in a body, at from 9s.
to 42s. per acre, in the wood, according to quality and location," and he furtherstates
that those purchasing lands of him, "can have a house built of logs 22 feet by 16,
with small glass windows, fitted for comfortable habitation for ;^7."
The contents of the book mainly consist of extracts from Thomas Hutchins, (whom
Ward calls Hutchinson on the title, and throughout the work) the Ohio Register, and
from the early travelers through the State.
This pamphlet was reprinted in London, in 1823, and a French translation
appeared in Paris in 1829.

British Museum, London, in the library of Henry C. Murphy, of Brooklyn, and in
that of George Brinley, of Providence, R. 1.
This, the earliest of Washington's diaries, printed almost as soon as its last page
was written, possesses uncommon interest as being the first of Washington's official
actions recorded in print, and from the fullness with which he describes the events
of his journey.
He was then twenty-one years old. His earlier exploration as surveyor had brought
him into contact with the Indians, and none seemed better to know and understand
WASHINGTON. 355
them ; for this reason he was selected by Governor Dinwiddie to proceed to the Ohio,
demand the withdrawal of the French, and examine the condition of their forces.
This act opened a series of struggles, in the course of which, English, French and
Americans, changed their relative positions, and which closed thirty years after, with
the gaze of mankind rivited on the august form of him, whom we here behold a
stripling.
The Brinley copy was sold at auction in New York, March, iS8o, and brought
$560, probably the highest price ever paid for a book of its size.

fortunate one, for it gave to the work a more general character and a wider circula-

years 1S39-52 in the "Hesperian," "American Journal of Science," "Western
Literary Journal," and other Magazines and Papers. Many of the periodicals in
which they appeared are but little known, having unfortunately, like most Western
Monthlies enjoyed only a brief existence and limited circulation, hence the value
of their republication in the form we here find them. The style is condensed and
brief, but those who read for the purpose of obtaining information, will gladly
welcome the compact form in which that information is presented Nearly all relate
to the West, and a large part to Ohio, among which are : — Review of the
"Historical Transactions" of Ohio — Elevation of Places in Ohio— Lord Dunmore's
Expedition to the Scioto Towns in 1774 — Settlement and Progress of the City of
Cleveland — Coal and Iron Trade of the Ohio Valley — Bouquet's Expedition — Agri-
cultural Condition of Ohio — Indian Treaties and Grants of Title for the Territory of

To this work are appended the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, with
Scripture passages illustrating them, and a short Litany, an abbreviation of the
Church Litany of the Moravians, all in Delaware and English.
The original manuscript of the first edition of the work is preserved in the
Archives at Bethlehem, Pa., upon comparing it with the printed copy, it is evident
that there was cause for the dissatisfaction which Zeisberger expressed with the man-
ner in which the book was brought out. The manuscript does not contain the
Appendix, but in place of it, the following articles:
1. A short history of the Bible, evidently original, in Delaware and English, in
parallel columns.
2. Reading Lessons in Delaware, being Biblical and other Narratives.
ZEISBERGER.

3. Conjugations of the verbs " to say " and "to tell," in Delaware and English.
