The map on this page in incorrect in the lower right corner - the river is labeled "Catawba River" and the town "Morganton"; however that is the Yadkin River and the a town at about the dot would be Wilkesboro. I don't know if that referenced trail started in Wilkesboro or if it should go further south off the map to Morganton.

There’s a lot: first, the purchase included 5 property transactions, involving land in western and southern KY, eastern Tennessee, central Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia. The map shown is incomplete and inaccurate. The purchase was also invalidated in pieces, one of which was actually recognized by Virginia in 1794. There’s no mention of the “independent” government of Watauga, the bouncing-off point for Henderson, who hoped to extend (i.e.borrow it’s legitimacy) that government into the Purchase.

Also, I'm a little confounded by the last paragraph under background (which is poorly worded and unsourced): what events or facts are we actually referring to here? The Beaver Wars had ended almost a century before the Purchase, and Kentucky was nearly devoid of Indians for decades, more than fifty years, well into the first half of the 18th century. Who controlled what in 1775 was yet to be determined in two more wars: the French and Indian War 1754-63, and Dunmore's war, 1774. All of this was prohibited anyway by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which fails of mention. Shawnee agitation by Loramie and British sympathizers north of the Ohio also played a role in Indian aggression south of the Ohio may be worth mentioning.

I’m fixing the issues, though I wasn’t very enthusiastic about this article. Sbalfour (talk) 14:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
