Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Chapter in the History of Cleveland The papers I obtained, however, do not relate exclusively, nor even very largely, in proportion to the whole, to this subject. They are the correspondence of a man largely interested in business and political affairs, and relate to the entire northern part of Ohio, Vincennes, Detroit, Mackinac, Upper Canada, the first parliament at Niagara, the Canadian election at Detroit before Jay´s Treaty and other matters, and in all respects constitute the most valuable set of private letters I have ever seen. There are between 3,000 and 4,000 of them, and they extend from 1760 to the date of the death of their collector, in 1818. There are letters from Vigo, at Vincennes, Arthur St. Clair, Jr., William and Angus McIntosh, John Askin, Jr., Joseph Brant, Alexander Henry, Commodore Alexander Grant, John Anderson, nearly all of the Moravian preachers, Zeisberger, Heckenvelder, Senseman and others, Wm. Henry Harrison, Gov. Wm. Hull, Judge Augustus Brevoort Woodward, Major Ancrum, General England, Arent Schuyler DePeyster, Henry Bird, Isaac Todd, James and Andrew Magill, D. W. Smith, and many Indian deeds and other official documents. This collection is of so recent an acquisition that I have not yet had time to arrange and bind it, as I propose, but I have pretty thoroughly examined it. Regarding the portion incorporated in the annexed essay, I would say that, of course, I do not possess all the correspondence and papers written on that subject, but I hope that what I here produce will be added to by others who possess information on the same subject, until ultimately the entire transaction of this Indian purchase may be made a matter of written history, and that we may thus add a chapter to the story of Cleveland.
