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.

This land lies from four to twelve miles above Owe s- , and from 90 to 100 below Louisville. Plats of it will be furnished by Mr. Philip Triplett, living in the of Owensborough, to any person wishing to view the land. He will also , in the absence of one of the subscri- bert Triplett, (who will be upon the premises in a few weeks ) have the said land shewn, or give any infor- elative to it, which may be required. Also, ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED ACRES, n River, twelve miles from Owensborough, in the same names. ALSO, ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES, on Clover Creek, about five miles from the Ohio, thirty-five above the Yellow Banks, and five miles from Hardins- burg, in the same names. The foregoing lands are to be sold for the purpose of closing the long standing concern of MAY, BANISTER, AND CO. d refore, not one acre will be purchased in for that company. se lands are, perhaps, possessed of as great local advantages as those of any part of the state. Their prox- Ohio gives them great advantages over those in the interior of the state. Besides, the f cility of ship- may be intended for market and the greater price which is consequently to be obtained for every n this region, than in one removed from navigation, the demand which the numerous Steam oats he Ohio will create for such articles as may be necessary to supply thier tables, should not be overlook- s considered a fine tobacco country, and for missing hogs, none in Kentucky can surpass it.

Jones, of Petersburg, and Thomas T. Bouldin of Richmond, all of who have appointed one of the subscribers (Robert Triplett) their attorney in fact, with instructions o of the lands of said concern, either privately or at a public auction, for the purpose of closing the bus ness company; and probably no opportunity will soon occur, when the i dustrious farmer with money enough to first payment, will find o good an opportunity of securing himself a home upon such easy terms. lands will be sold for ONE SIXTH PART IN HAND, the balance in TWO, THREE AND FOUR TEAR , - QUAL PAYMENTS. And here, in many instances no doubt $100 or $200 will make the first payment on a fine farm, and with ordinary industry and management, even the hogs which might be raised would complete the re- maining payments. Upon the same terms and in the same time, the subscriber R.T. as attorney in fact for Thomas T. Bouldin, Exr. of D. Ross, deed, will sell positively. ONE LOT No. ONE, FOUR HUNDRED ACRES, part of 2000 on Clover Creek, three miles from Hardinsburg, patented to David oss, a tract of prime land, with Clover Creek running through the heart of it. This lot is to be sold merely to br ng the remainder into market by procuring a settlement there. At the same time the remainder will bo sold it a moderately reasonable price can be obtained. At the same time will be offered and sold if but a moderate price can be obtained FOUR OR FIVE LOTS OF THREE AND FOUR HUNDRED ACRES EACH, from two to three miles from Owensborong, being part of Ross and May's survey of 5656 acres on the Ohio river at the Yellow Banks, on the same terms as the foregoing. ALSO, at the same time will be sold, ALL THE LOTS IN THE TOWN OF OWENSBOROUGH, owned by Ross and May, being one half of the same- for one fourth in hand, and two, three and four years for the balance. In all the foregoing sales a leiu on the property will be the only security required. The geographical situation of Owensborough, by viewing the Map of Kentucky, will be found such as to ensure its rise and rapid improvement, as the country becomes settled about it. It is the nearest point of land on the Ohio for a large district of country, for which it must become the poiny of depot and entrepot. To mechanics we think it promises a fine harvest and they would do well to attend the sale. ROBERT TRIPLETT. DANIEL EPPES, JNO. L. MAY, POLLY EPPES, *To suit all purchasers, some of these tracts will be subdivided into smaller ones.
