Anonymous sketch of the Transylvania Constitutional Convention, May 23, 1775 at Boonesborough (now in Kentucky, USA): "On May 23, 1775 a convention of the people in the deep wilderness of Kentucky gathered in a constitutional convention, meeting under the shade of a huge elm tree (the limbs of which extended at least a hundred feed wide), and which its president, Richard Henderson, called "our Church, State-house, Council Chamber, etc."
