Résumé
A series of monographs on the History of America as portrayed in the evolution of its Highways of War, Commerce, and Social Expansion. Comprising the following volumes:
Paths of the Mound-Building Indians and Great Game Animals.
Indian Thoroughfares.
Washington's Road: The First Chapter of the Old French War.
Braddock's Road.
The Old Glade (Forbes's) Road.
Boone's Wilderness Road.
Portage Paths: The Keys of the Continent. Military Roads of the Mississippi Basin. Waterways of Westward Expansion. The Cumberland Road. Pioneer Roads of America (two volumes). The Great American Canals (two volumes). The Future of Road-Making in America. One roadway - the Wilderness Road to Kentucky from Virginia and Tennessee, the longest, blackest, hardest road of pioneer days in America - holds the old-time name with undiminished loyalty and is true today to every gloomy description and vile epithet that was ever written or spoken of it.
It was broken open for white man's use by Daniel Boone from the Watauga settlement on the Holston River, Tennessee, to the mouth of Otter Creek on the Kentucky River in the month preceding the outbreak of open revolution at Lexington and Concord. It was known as " Boone's Trail, " the " Kentucky Road, " the " road to Caintuck, " or the "Virginia Road, " but its common name was the " Wilderness Road." A wilderness of laurel thickets lay between the Kentucky settlements and Cumberland Gap and was the most desolate country imaginable.
The name was transferred to the road that passed through it. It seems right that the brave frontiersman who opened this route to white men should be remembered by this act; and for a title to this volume " Boone's Wilderness Road " has been selected.
