From the text, "During the residence of Governor Shelby in Kentucky, up to the time of his death, there existed an intimate friendship between him and the… father of the writer, General Martin D. Hardin, late of Frankfort, Kentucky. And when Governor Shelby was chief magistrate of Kentucky, he appointed M. D. Hardin his Secretary of State. Among the papers which fell into the hands of the writer, as the executor and eldest son of General Hardin, were several sheets of paper in two parcels, in the handwriting of M. D. Hardin, which are headed as follows: Notes on the affair at King's Mountain taken from a conversation with Governor Shelby, 16th July, 1815, and Notes on conversations with Governor Shelby, 20th September, 1819. These papers contain an account of the battle at King's Mountain, and of the battle at Musgrove's Hill which preceded it." Includes the text of a letter from Shelby to Hardin. This does not appear to have been published elsewhere. Housed in protective mylar report cover. Very scarce.

"The bill proposed to repeal out of office all the circuit judges, and to elect five additional judges of the Supreme Court, who, with the four already in office, were to act as judges of bo…th the Supreme and Circuit Courts." With the signature at the bottom of p. 1 of Ellen Hardin Walworth, General Hardin's eldest child, and an American author, lawyer, and activist who was a passionate advocate for the importance of studying history and historic preservation. Walworth was one of the founders of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was the organization's first secretary-general. Wikipedia notes the family's singular tragedy: "Walworth's husband was an unstable person with a violent temper who physically assaulted her . After their divorce, Mansfield Walworth continued to threaten his former wife. After failed attempts by family members to intervene on her behalf, on June 3, 1873, her oldest son, Frank, shot his father to death in a New York City hotel room. After a widely publicized trial that included Ellen Walworth testifying on behalf of her son, Frank was sentenced to life imprisonment on July 5, 1873. Following the conviction, Walworth devoted herself to securing his release which she achieved in 1877. In August 1877, New York Governor Robinson pardoned Frank Walworth on the grounds that the prisoner was not legally responsible for the crime due to insanity. Walworth studied law to gain the knowledge needed in order to overturn the conviction of her son." Byrd 625a (locating only a privately held copy). 7 in OCLC.
