Lewis Bonnett, Jr. was the young cousin of Lewis Wetzel and lived with him in his youth. "Since Wetzel was entirely illiterate, and to the best of our knowledge never dictated any record of his career, the recollections of Lewis Bonnett, Jr., are the closest thing we will ever have to the memoirs of Lewis Wetzel." 140 pages, 5.5x8.5, (1991), 2007, 5.5x8.5, paper, 140 pp, Softcover, Heritage Books, Inc View more info

This book was assembled unpublished papers of Lyman Draper (1815-1891) former secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. This book combines Draper's even-handed account of this important first engagement with transcripts of the original sources from which he drew upon to create his account. We learn the settlers' version from the letters of Colonel James Patton and Samuel McDowell, and articles in the Pennsylvania Gazette.

Indian Warfare is one of the volumes in Mr. Lobdell's series covering the "Heroic Age" (1770 to 1794) on the early frontier. The three narratives often read like adventure stories.

This is the third volume in a series of materials relating to warfare on the Upper Ohio between the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and Anthony Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers (1794). Previously unpublished, these papers are part of the priceless Draper Manuscript Collection at the Wisconsin Historical Society. The Historical Narrative of George Edgington (1845) is important for its equal treatment of Lewis Wetzel and Samuel Brady, two of the greatest scouts at that time. Peter Henry's Account (1850) contains a dramatic description of his capture by Indians in 1779. Spencer Re... View more info
