Third and best edition of the work on the trans-Alleghany region as settlers were streaming in following the American Revolution, in which conflict the author served as a captain in the American Army. Howes writes: "In its final 1797 form, embodying many original narratives and the entire works of Filson and Hutchins, this work gave the most complete information on the trans-Alleghany region available at the end of the 18th century." There is a general map of the Western Territories, a plan of the Rapids of the Ohio, and maps of Tennessee and Kentucky.
