Hist., ii. 129 (Mar., 1878), with reference to the original documents in the N. Y. Col. Docs., x. 189, and in the Penna. Archives, 2d ser., vi. 63. Cf. Bancroft, orig. ed., iv. 43. On his plates, see Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., ix. 248; Mag. of Amer. Hist., Jan., 1878, p. 52; and Mag. of Western History, June, 1885, p. 207. A representation of a broken plate found at the mouth of the Muskingum River, in 1798, is given in S. P. Hildreth’s Pioneer Hist. of the Ohio Valley, Cincinnati, 1848, p. 20, with the inscription on the one found at the mouth of the Kenawha in 1846 (p. 23). An account of the Muskingum plate was given by De Witt Clinton in the Amer. Antiq. Soc. Trans., ii. 430. Its defective inscription is given in the Mémoires sur les Affaires du Canada, p. 209. Cf. Sparks’s Washington, ii. 430. Other fac-similes of these plates can be seen in Olden Time, p. 288; N. Y. Col. Docs., vi. 611; Egle’s Pennsylvania (p. 318; also cf. p. 1121); De Hass’s Western Virginia, p. 50.
