Letter, 1850?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29609775

This letter was written by Ewing from Washington, Texas, to a Mr. Crittenden [possibly Kentucky Governor and U.S. Senator John Jordan Crittenden?] The writer claimed to know S.I.M. Major, editor of the KENTUCKY YEOMAN, and he cast several derogatory allusions on Major's character, hoping to have them published in the LOUISVILLE JOURNAL. Ewing referred to Major as an opponent of "native Americanism."
