  • Left Logstown, Near the Present Site of An> Bridge, Pennsylvania, On
    FROM LOGSTOWN TO VENANGO WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON1 W. WALTER BRAHAM Washington left Logstown, near the present site of An> Georgebridge, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, November 30, 1753, and arrived at Venango, now Franklin, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, Decem- ber 4. His route between these two points has been the subject of much speculation. Washington's biographers, from John Marshall, who blandly assumes that he went up the Allegheny River, to the late Doug- las Southall Freeman, who traced his route through Branchton inButler County, all adopt without comment the theory of a journey by a direct route from Logstown to Venango by way of Murderingtown. Dr. Free- man's recent and excellent volumes on "Young Washington'' give present point to the inquiry. The first-hand evidence on the trip of Washington to Fort Le Boeuf is of course in the diaries of Washington and of his companion, Christopher Gist, and the map of western Pennsylvania and Virginia believed to have been prepared by Washington himself and now lodged in the British Museum. 2 The diary entries are brief and may be quoted in full. Washington's diary entries concerning this part of his trip are: [Nov.] 30th. We set out about 9 o-Clock with the Half-King, Jeska- kake, White Thunder, and the Hunter; and travelled on the Road to Venango, where we arrived the 4th of December, without any Thing remarkable happening but a continued Series of bad Weather. [Dec] 4£7i. This is an old Indian Town, situated at the Mouth of French Creek on Ohio; and lies near N.
