Draper Manuscripts
|
Draper's manuscripts remain one
of the best known and most celebrated collections. His
collection reflects his lifelong interest in the history of the
trans-Allegheny West from the 1740's to the period of the
American Revolution and the War of 1812. Draper also maintained
a lifelong interest in the pioneers of the Revolutionary era,
especially Daniel Boone. In the words of retired archivist
Josephine L. Harper Darling, Draper was "an indefatigable
collector who preserved whatever he gathered."
