The original edition, published in 1824, has long been out of print. The work is one of rare value as an original authority for many historical facts, and as containing graphic and truthful representations of pioneer life. The author, the late Rev. Dr. Dotldridge, of West Virginia, reared up to manhood among the early settlers of the west, was a strict ob- server of their manners and customs, and took much interest in gathering up incidents illustrAlivc of the character of the people, and in recording mai.y historical facts which he heard liom the lips of the actors in the trying scenes of piuueer life. These circumstances, taken in connection^ with the fact that Dr. Doddridge was a man of learning and sound judguient, remler his notes a work of great value. iw Jersey Prov.
