Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky: To the General Assembly of Virginia 1769 to 1792 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky: To the General Assembly of Virginia 1969 to 1792

The petitions are printed verbatim, with the thought that they will be more useful and interesting to the student of history in the language of the pioneer inhabitants of our first Commonwealth west of the Alleghany Mountains. The editor has added foot-notes which may help to explain the purpose, the subject-matter, and the effect of the various petitions.

The names attached to the petitions have been separated from them and arranged in alphabetical order, with num bers referring to the petitions on which they appear. This saves considerable space, as many of the names are signed to two or more petitions. It also makes reference to them more easy.
