- Synopsis
-
The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke and an Essay towards the Topography, and Natural History of that Important Country is a 1784 book by John Filson. It describes the discovery, purchase, settlement, and land of Kentucky. Filson's errors in the text have influenced public opinion on the discovery of Kentucky.
Filson adds an appendix at the end, which is much longer than the main work in this writing. The first article of the appendix, titled, "The adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon, formerly a hunter, containing a narrative of the wars of Kentucke", provides a collection of stories, presented as an "out of his own mouth" publication of Daniel Boone. The second article included in the appendix is a short description of the council held by Thomas J. Dalton with the Piankashaw Indians, followed by a description of the different tribes in close proximity of Kentucky.
