Biographical History
Lyman Copeland Draper (1815-1891), American historian known for his studies of the history of trans-Allegheny West. From 1854 to 1886, he served as director of The State Historical Society of Wisconsin from 1854 to 1886.
Lyman Copeland Draper was born in Lockport, New York on September 4, 1815. He attended Granville College in Ohio from 1834-1836 and became very interested in American history. In 1843 a relative began to fund Draper's historical and research travel in return for occasional domestic and business assistance. Draper made nine trips throughout the southeastern and middle states, conducting interviews, copying archival records, and collecting original manuscripts. After the death of his patron, Draper moved to Wisconsin, where in 1854 he was appointed corresponding secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Over the next thirty-two years he devoted his time and energy to the Historical Society and his own research. Draper retired in 1886 but continued his work on his manuscripts. He died in Madison, Wisconsin on August 26, 1891.
