  • (Summer 2018) John Filson's Kentucke
    Edward A. Galloway Published in Manuscripts, Vol. 70, No. 3 (Summer 2018) John Filson’s Kentucke: Internet Search Uncovers “Hidden” Manuscripts In 2010 the University Library System (ULS) at the University of Pittsburgh embarked on an ambitious mission: to digitize the content of the Darlington Memorial Library. Presented to the university via two separate gifts, in 1918 and 1925, the Darlington library has become the anchor of the Archives and Special Collections Department within the university library. Comprised of thousands of rare books, manuscripts, maps, broadsides, atlases, lithographs, and artwork, the library showcased the collecting passions of the Darlington family who lived in Pittsburgh during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The patriarch, William M. Darlington (1815-1889), was born in Pittsburgh and practiced law in Allegheny County. A passionate collector, William M. Darlington found his equal in Mary Carson O’Hara (1824- 1915), whom he married in 1845.1 They subsequently moved into a newly-constructed Italianate home just a few miles up the Allegheny River from Downtown Pittsburgh. Here, they raised three children, O’Hara, Mary, and Edith, all recipients of their parents’ love of history and bibliophiles to the core. Having married into a wealthy family, Mr. Darlington retired from his law career in 1856 to manage the estate of his wife’s grandfather, James O’Hara, whose land holdings encompassed a major portion of Pittsburgh.2 He would devote most of his adult life to collecting works of Americana, especially that which documented western Pennsylvania. Even the land upon which he built his estate, passed down to his wife, dripped with history having been the last home of Guyasuta, a Seneca chief.3 The Darlingtons eventually amassed the “largest private library west of the Alleghenies” containing nearly 14,000 volumes.

  • KENTUCKY in AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I by JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND
    KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I BY JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS JOHN FILSON John Filson, the first Kentucky historian, was born at East Fallowfield, Pennsylvania, in 1747. He was educated at the academy of the Rev. Samuel Finley, at Nottingham, Maryland. Finley was afterwards president of Princeton University. John Filson looked askance at the Revolutionary War, and came out to Kentucky about 1783. In Lexington he conducted a school for a year, and spent his leisure hours in collecting data for a history of Kentucky. He interviewed Daniel Boone, Levi Todd, James Harrod, and many other Kentucky pioneers; and the information they gave him was united with his own observations, forming the material for his book. Filson did not remain in Kentucky much over a year for, in 1784, he went to Wilmington, Delaware, and persuaded James Adams, the town's chief printer, to issue his manuscript as The Discovery, Settlement, and Present State of Kentucke; and then he continued his journey to Philadelphia, where his map of the three original counties of Kentucky—Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln— was printed and dedicated to General Washington and the United States Congress. This Wilmington edition of Filson's history is far and away the most famous history of Kentucky ever published. Though it contained but 118 pages, one of the six extant copies recently fetched the fabulous sum of $1,250—the highest price ever paid for a Kentucky book. The little work was divided into two parts, the first part being devoted to the history of the country, and the second part was the first biography of Daniel Boone ever published.

  • The Filson Club History Quarterly
    THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY VOL. 54 LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, OCTOBER, 1980 NO. 4 UNCOVERED -- THE FABULOUS SILVER MINES OF SWIFT AND FILSON BY JOE NICKELL* Part I: The Legend For nearly two centuries a legend has persisted in eastern Ken- tucky concerning the "lost silver mines" of one "Jonathan Swift." In his alleged Journal, Swift relates how he and a company of men preceded Daniel Boone into Kentucky, making annual trips from Alexandria, Virginia to mine silver. From June 21, 1760 until late 1769, they "carried in supplies and took out silver bars and minted coins" which Swift used to buy vessels for his "ship- ping interests." Plagued by Indians, a mutiny of his workmen, and other troubles, and after a pious change of heart, Swift discon- tinued his venture, walled up his mine and a cave full of treasure, and headed for "England or France" to "get a party interested in... working the mines on a large scale." When he returned after a fifteen-year delay (he says he was imprisoned in England), Swift had become blind -- unable to find his fabulous treasure!1 Many have undoubtedly accepted the legend at face value. J. H. Kidwell says: "Men, hoary with age and gray haired, half insane on the subject of the Swift mines ranged the mountains and the likely places, and died in the belief that they were very near the source of the mines as outlined in the Swift Journal....-2 To some, a treasury warrant of 1788 whereby John Filson (the early Ken- tucky mapmaker and historian) recorded 1,000 acres alleged to contain Swift's mine, has lent credence to the legend) (Part III of this article explores the "Filson connection.") *Joz Nxc..mm•, free lance writer and thvesflgator, has a B•,.

  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.

  • Learn More About John James Audubon
    “How could I make a little book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen large books?” Birds of America, the culmination of 15 years of passionate study, was a mammoth undertaking. It cost $115,640 (approximately $2,000,000 today) and included 435 life- size prints of 497 bird species, engraved on copper plates by Robert Havell, Jr. and colored by an assembly line of 50 colorists. Printed on “double elephant” sized paper, Audubon laid out the images with an artist’s eye rather than by biological classification, reaping the scorn of ornithological purists, but winning praise even from King George IV. Scottish artist, John Syme, painted his portrait in frontier regalia (which now hangs in the White House). London’s Royal Society elected him a fellow. English and French noblemen became subscribers. “To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.” Life after Birds of America was a continuing roller coaster ride for Audubon. He reunited with his family in the United States only to return to England to find that many of his subscribers were in default and that he had lost others due to the poor quality of the coloring of the plates. Yet he continued to add to his collection of bird and wildlife drawings, exploring the west, the Florida coast, and Labrador, and publishing three more books, including an octavo edition of Birds of America that included 65 additional plates. “A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.” After his death, Lucy sold the New York Historical Society all of the 435 preparatory watercolors for Birds of America.
