In 1793, a large group of men petitioned Isaac Shelby to establish a fortified post at the mouth of Salt River. As all of them signed the letter, we are trying to identify each of them. The images below are taken directly from the letter, and we need your help in determining the names.
Some are clear and bold, easy to read. Others are either poorly written, faint, or both. We have listed what we think is the name for each image. They are listed below in alphabetical order.
If you can help us determine the names we haven't deciphered, or correct names we have incorrectly identified, please note the image and the name given. Then use the "Contact Us" link at the top of this page, and send us a message.
