56/62 speak of meeting Boon in Powell's Valley and getting home in September; if so, it must have been the very end of the month. The account of this journey of Floyd and his companions is taken from a very interesting MS. journal, kept by one of the party--Thomas Hanson. It was furnished me, together with other valuable papers, through the courtesy of Mr.and Mrs.Daniel Trigg, of Abingdon, Va., and of Dr.George Ben. Johnston, of Richmond, to whom I take this opportunity of returning my warm thanks. |
