My friends - Our friend Barbara Denny George passed this little request along to me, and I am sending it on to the lists. It is a little "outside our jurisdiction", so to speak, but I am always sensitive to scholars who are working on these sorts of projects, and I felt that there might be some possibility that some of you might have material that would be of interest to this gentleman. If you do, please convey it via private e-mail to the address shown. -B ============================================================ >I have been asked to help Dr. Karl Raitz, Dept. of Geography, >University of Kentucky, with research from the first >explorers to the present for a book about the Wilderness Road >and the Limestone Road, which provided access to the 18th- >century Trans-Appalachian frontier. Dr. Raitz characterizes the >Wilderness Road as "a poor people's road" and the Limestone >Road as "the route of the wealthy." If you have information you >are willing to share for this project, such as diaries, letters, >maps, or oral tradition, please e-mail Dr. Raitz's research >assistant, Marianne Brennan <mbbren0@pop.uky.edu>. ============================================================
