==Biography==
Draper was born in Lockport, New York, the descendant of early Massachusetts settler James Draper (1618–1694). Growing up he often heard about the exploits of his grandfathers and father in the Revolution and the War of 1812. He developed a keen interest in the history of those times. Starting in the 1830s, Lyman Draper corresponded with people who were early settlers in the Trans-Allegheny region during the second half of the 18th century. He also traveled extensively in the region to gain a better feel for the territory. Draper's professed purpose was to shed light on the era and gain knowledge before it was completely forgotten.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Content.aspx?dsNav=Ny:True,Ro:0,N:4294963828-4294963805&dsNavOnly=N:4294963828-4294963805&dsRecordDetails=R:CS4103&dsDimensionSearch=D:draper+manuscripts,Dxm:All,Dxp:3&dsCompoundDimensionSearch=D:draper+manuscripts,Dxm:All,Dxp:3 )〕 He planned to write a series of biographies on early settlers in the region and document the Indian Wars in the Ohio River Valley.
Although Draper never finished his biographies, his correspondence with survivors of the time and their relatives provide the largest single first-hand account of the settlement of the region. He published 10 volumes of historical notes for the Wisconsin Historical Society, as well as a volume about the Battle of King's Mountain (1780). This featured many of the early settlers.
