Draper Manuscripts: Virginia Papers, 1772-1869

Container Title
Series: 10 ZZ (Volume 10)
Scope and Content Note: A manuscript draft for his Notes written by Joseph Doddridge and given to Draper by his daughter. Although the subject matter is similar to the published version, the text of the draft is arranged in different order than the final printed copy. This manuscript also contains a portion of an original play, here titled “The Tragedy of Logan” but printed as Logan: The Last of the race of Shikellemus Chief of the Cayuga Nation, an attempt by Doddridge to commemorate the bravery and misfortune of this Shawnee chief. Accompanying the play is a letter (1823) of literary criticism of it by J. Lewin.
