    ===
    This narrative is founded largely on original sources--on the
    writings and journals of pioneers and contemporary observers,
    such as Doddridge and Adair, and on the public documents of the
    period as printed in the Colonial Records and in the American
    Archives. But the author is, nevertheless, greatly indebted to
    the researches of, other writers, whose works are cited in the
    Bibliographical Note. The author's thanks are due, also, to Dr.
    Archibald Henderson, of the University of North Carolina, for his
    kindness in reading the proofs of this book for comparison with
    his own extended collection of unpublished manuscripts relating
    to the period.
