Title A name given to the resource First American West, 1750-1820 Description An account of the resource Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.<br /><br /><p></p> <table border="0" style="width:99.7863%;border-collapse:collapse;border-style:hidden;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);float:left;" cellpadding="25"><tbody><tr><td style="width:40%;"><a href="https://www.neh.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img src="https://www.neh.gov/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2019-08/NEH-Preferred-Seal820.jpg?itok=VyHHX8pd" width="328" height="149" alt="NEH Preferred Seal" /></a></td> <td style="text-align:left;"> <h5>First American West was generously funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.</h5> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Corlis-Respess Family Papers (1698-1984), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Joseph Hamilton Daveiss Papers (1780-1800), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Foote Family Papers (1759-1987), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Henry Family Papers (1773-1864), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky John Wesley Hunt Papers (1792-1849), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Harry Innes Papers (1792-1849), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky John Jeremiah Jacob Papers (1806-1851), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Meriwether William and George Wood Papers (1780-1831), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Nall Family Papers (1797-1945), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Pirtle-Rogers Family Papers (1797-1875), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Pottinger Family Papers (1631-1932), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Rogers-Woodson Family Papers (1789-1890), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Isaac Shelby papers (1760-1839), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Shelby-Bruen Family Papers (1761-1916), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Charles Wilkins Short Papers (1802-1869), The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Museum Collection, The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Type The nature or genre of the resource Collection Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context FAW Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 18th century 19th century Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document Camp Miami No 3 N W. Army December 6th, 1872 Isaac, I have long esteemed you as one of my best friends and would feel myself honoured as well as gratified in still being your intimate. I have often beguiled the weary hour in telling you the cares of a fantas- tic boy whose ideas of life were too glowing for this sublunary sphere and often have you given an atten- tive ear to my interests - yes Isaac I know you will still be pleased to hear from me tho I have quit the crowded city for the tented field and the theme of my epistle is changed from love to war. When I was last with you I told you of my fearful hopes concerning an object that was once dear to me. By my subsequent letters you learned those fears were almost entirely re- solved and that a prospect of the communica- tion of my wishes was at hand, but this in the event I found a dream. Yes Isaac I would not wish to disgrace any one you think highly of in your eyes that do not be- lieve me, so base as to speak from pique alone when I say that I almost believe her conduct was only to get my to make a second propo- sition that might revenge herself of my conduct to a certain scoundrel I brought to his senses, conduct of which I need not be ashamed in sight of man nor heaven. Scorn was all the return my proffers met with. The old one as usual acted the hypocrite. This aroused all the man within me. I have forgotten all but any injuries. The evening before I left Lex- ington I though she made an attempt a conciliation but I thought with the Port. "When one deceived I hurt not kings again." She has gone to seek for riches and honour instead of happiness. I will take my course through life guided by honesty and feeling. Undiverted from my course by any magnetic influence I will see which of us will be most prospe- rous. For the two last months an humble Ensign in the Army I have I believe done my duty to the satisfaction of my supe- riors. I believe I may add with some applause. I have since I joined the Army been on three scouts one towards Fort McArthur one towards fort Wayne and one to the head of the Rapids which have given me an op- portunity of seeing the most of the sur- rounding country. About half of it is very fine and will one day afford great settlements. I yesterday evening returned from Ft. Wayne after an absence of 15 days. I was ordered to that place with others to ascertain what volunteer and what Regular clothing was on hand and the state of the other supplies coming our For the Army. The following is a list of the Kentucky Dona- tions that have come on for this wing of the Army Pantaloons - 527 Shoes - 377 Blankets - 246 Roundabouts - 164 Hunting Shirts - 80 Waist coats - 194 Socks - pairs - 1835 Mittens - [do?] - 637 Shirts - 49 Caps - 7 Comforts - 12 Worsted Stockings - 12 pair and a few other articles besides about as much more to individuals and 18 waggon loads more that by last advices were on the way between. Cincinatti and St. Mary's - no clothing designated particularly for the Regulars have yet come on. Some Indian goods we have got hold of however I hope will prevent any more of them from dying so soon as we can get it made up. Government has been palpably ne- gligent of the US Troops in this quarter. We have no news here. We are all anxious to get on to Canada but supplies come on so slow that some begin to despair. The river is so high now that I hope provisions enough will be got on before it freezes. I believe it is Genl Harrison's determination to move on if possible. If the boats get down it will be possible. We have had no fighting on scouts since Logan the Indian was killed, of which you have no doubt heard. I am well pleased with the [annoyance?] calculate as remaining here to we take [Malden?] long or short. After you give my best respects to your brother John and family tell Miss Louisa the adjutant is well and makes a fine officer. He always gets into the raptures when he talks of the termi- nation of the campaign and his returning to Kentucky. I hope you will frequently write to me and give me all the news. G. [?] and Capt [Edward?] are well. No more room good bye and believe me sincerely your friend Isaac L. Baker Isaac R.
