Book Description

Excerpt from Military Roads of the Mississippi Basin: The Conquest of the Old Northwest Much as has been written concerning Clark's famous march through the drowned lands of the Wabash, the important ques tion of his route has been untouched, and the story from that standpoint untold. The history of the campaign is here made subservient to a study of the route and to an attempted identification of the various places, and a determination of their present day names. Four volumes of the Draper Manuscripts in the library of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin give a vast deal of information on this subject. They are referred to by the library press-mark.
