Draper, Lyman Copeland. ''[http://frontierfolk.org/draper.htm Draper Manuscript Collection]''. Chicago, Illinois: University of Chicago Library, 197–?. (On 147 Family History Library films beginning with 889098). The Draper Manuscript Collection consists of nearly 500 volumes of manuscripts, papers, and books collected by Lyman Copeland Draper about the history of the trans-Allegheny West, a region including the western areas of the Carolinas and Virginia, all of the Ohio River Valley, and part of the upper Mississippi Valley from the 1740s to 1830. The collection is divided into 50 series. Some series are titled by geographic area, some by the names of prominent frontier leaders, and some by topic. The bulk of the collection is composed of notes from interviews, questionnaires, and letters gathered during Draper’s extensive travels and research on frontier history. Personal papers are much more rare than government or military records. It includes many items of a genealogical or biographical nature. For an inventory and partial indexes, see: | Draper, Lyman Copeland. ''[http://frontierfolk.org/draper.htm Draper Manuscript Collection]''. Chicago, Illinois: University of Chicago Library, 197–?.
