Follow the rough track that carried a young George Washington into the wilderness and into history, along the ancient Native American trail known as Nemacolin's Path. The frontier comes into focus. In this classic early American history book, Archer Butler Hulbert traces how a forest footpath became Washington's Road, the strategic lifeline of the first campaigns of the Old French War on the 18th-century American frontier. Blending narrative drive with meticulous research, Hulbert explores the contest for the Pennsylvania-Ohio country, the transformation of Native American trails into military roads, and the opening of key frontier routes that reshaped colonial America. As a study in colonial American history nonfiction and American transportation history, the volume illuminates George Washington's early career, the geography of power in the French and Indian War, and the lived reality of soldiers, surveyors and guides pushing westward. Ideal for American history students and colonial history buffs alike, it also stands as a foundational work in Native American trails history and in the wider Historic Highways of America series. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Both an engrossing narrative of Pennsylvania-Ohio frontier routes and a classic colonial America study, it is a rewarding addition to any serious history shelf or collection of historical travel and exploration.
