Collection Overview From the Collection:

Collection summary derived from "Guidebook to Manuscripts", 1969: Entitled "The Nation of Indians called Charrikees," and written about 1698, this bound manuscript of forty-four pages is enclosed in a portfolio covered with buckram. Written by a man who was apparently an official at Williamsburg in Virginia, this document is interesting as well as informative because of its descriptions of Indian life before 1700.

Dates: 1725 - 1729
