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.
