| | Source:Thwaites, 1902 | Daniel Boone | The classic biography for Daniel Boone, based on the Draper MSC compilation of Boone related material.
| | Source:Turner, 1914 | Reuben Gold Thwaites; a memorial address | Thwaites was the successor to Lyman Draper at the Wisconsin Historical Society, and utilized his access to the Draper MSC to publish extensively on the settlement history of Revolutionary era America, including southwest Virginia. Thwaites efforts, particularly his "Dunmore's Wars" and "Daniel Boone", gave wider readership for the content of the Draper MSC; much of the information used by genealogists, and attributed to the Draper Manuscript collection, is probably derived from Thwaites publications using that resource.
