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.

[?] Feby 10th 1794-
By my letter of the 10th of January I then informed you that four persons had lately been killed in this State by the Indians. I have since then had information that the Murder was done by Southern indians who have also since the date of that letter killed two other persons on the frontier of this State.
I fully Expect that we shall be attacked by the Creek and Chickamaggy Indians as soon at the winter breaks, must therefore request that I may be furnished with authority as early as possible to take measures for the defensive protection of the frontiers of the State.
If the President of the United States shall judge it proper to call on the Mounted Militia or Hunters of Kentucky the ensuing season, to act separately Against the North Western Indians, It will in my Judgment be indespensable to the success of any enterprise that may be ordered, that a board should be established here with ample powers to make any arrangements at the expence of the Union that may appear necessary to carry the same into Effect.
The
The pay heretofore allowed to Mounted Volunteers (altho as much as could be expected) is not an Object to real Rifle men, from the scattered like action of our settlements as sufficient of such men can only be drawn out by calling into service a greater proportion of Officers of every rank; at present they are too few by one half, I will [venture?] to say the the Example of a number of influential Officers going forward on any Expedition from this Country is the best and only inducement than can procure a sufficient body of good Rifle Men able to cope with them Indians in the field.
