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.
