Connelley (1855-1930) was a well-known historian on the American West. He wrote a number of books and contributed to many periodicals. In the early 1900s, he conducted research on the true identity of Josiah Ramsay (or Ramsey), who, as a youth in Virginia during the 1750s, was kidnapped by Native Americans. Ramsay later lived in Kentucky and Tennessee. Meredith T. Moore, a veteran of the Mexican-American War, was married to a descendant of Ramsay. In these letters, Moore passes along information about Josiah Ramsay to Connelley.
