Journal to the Westward, 1758-1763.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61855569

Kenny's journal describes two assignments he carried out from 1758 to 1763, during the French and Indian War. The first, initiated by the Commissioners for Indian Affairs, was from 1758 to 1761. Kenny was overseer of an expedition to carry provisions to the Pennsylvania and Ohio tribes. The second, which chronicles his stewardship of a trading store established at Pittsburgh by the Commissioners, was from 1761 to 1763. Rich details of frontier life are provided, as are references to Kenny's customers, many of whom were Indians.
