This work follows the Scotch-Irish families of Draper and Ingles, who were some of the original pioneers to establish settlements beyond the Alleghenies in 1748. Mr. Hale, the author, states that "In connection with... these histories of the Ingles and Draper settlements and families, I shall endeavor to trace, in chronological order, the progressive frontier explorations and settlements along the entire Virginia border, from the Alleghenies to the Ohio, from the New River-Kanawha and tributaries in the South-west, where settlements first began, to the Monongahela and tributaries, in the North-west, and the intervening country, and along the Ohio, where the frontier line of settlements was last to be advanced, but I shall give more special attention to the early history of the region of the New River-Kanawha and tributaries, with collateral facts and incidents of more or less local or general historical interest." Mr. Hale includes the 1755 Indian attack at Draper's Meadows, which resulted in the deaths of a number of settlers and the capture and escape of Mary Ingles and Bettie Draper; the Battle of Point Pleasant, including biographical sketches of many of the participants, a discussion of Daniel Boone's lift at New River-Kanawha.
