Historic Highways of America Volume 5: The Old Glade and Forbes Road is a book written by Archer Butler Hulbert and published in 1903. The book is part of a series that explores the history and significance of various roads and highways in America. In this volume, Hulbert focuses on two important roads in Pennsylvania: the Old Glade Road and Forbes Road. The Old Glade Road was an early colonial road that connected Philadelphia with the western frontier. It was an important route for traders, settlers, and soldiers during the French and Indian War. Hulbert explores the history of the road, its construction, and its role in the development of the region. Forbes Road, named after British General John Forbes, was built during the French and Indian War to provide a direct route from Philadelphia to Fort Duquesne (present-day Pittsburgh). Hulbert examines the construction of the road, the challenges faced by the builders, and the strategic importance of the route during the war. Throughout the book, Hulbert provides detailed descriptions of the landscape, landmarks, and historical events associated with the roads. He also includes maps, illustrations, and photographs to help readers visualize the routes and their surroundings. Overall, Historic Highways of America Volume 5: The Old Glade and Forbes Road is a fascinating exploration of two important roads in Pennsylvania and their significance in American history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation, colonial America, or the French and Indian War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
