Description
1834 1ed KENTUCKY History Butler Iroquois INDIANS Slavery Frontier Boone Clay
Mann Butlers “History of the Commonwealth of Kentucky” is a 19th-century account of frontier life in America. Into the 1830s, few histories of Kentucky were published at all, and Butlers proved to be one of, if not the most important of all histories of Kentucky. The book contains highly important contents, much of which is heavily focused on Native American Indians. Other contents include:
Peace negotiations with Iroquois and Cherokee tribes
Treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768
Political and military careers of Daniel Boone
His capture and imprisonment
Details on American forefathers – Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, Henry Clay
Election of Thomas Jefferson to president
Extensive notes on the emancipation of slaves and its impact on Kentucky politics
Note from Howes:
“Disputes many of [Humphrey] Marshalls findings; contains the Journal of Col. George Croghan, one of the earliest accounts in English of the Ohio country.”
Larneds note on this work is important:
“From the Indian occupation of the country to the middle of the War of 1812. The early land disputes, the difficulty between Virginia and Kentucky, and the navigation of the Mississippi question are especially well treated. The book ranks among the better class of work of its day.”
