    Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa. July 8 – July 15, 1803 by David T. Gilbert National Park Service Harpers Ferry, West Virginia May 5, 2003 (Revised September 28, 2015) Introduction The route which Meriwether Lewis traveled from Harpers Ferry, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between July 8 and July 15, 1803, has not been well documented 1. The only primary source we have is a letter Lewis penned to President Jefferson from Harpers Ferry on July 8, 1803: I shall set out myself in the course of an hour, taking the route of Charlestown, Frankfort, Uniontown and Redstone old fort to Pittsburgh, at which place I shall most probably arrive on the 15th.2 Route of Meriwether Lewis July 8-July 15, 1803 Pittsburgh R Elizabeth E V I Petersons R Brownsville Pennsylvania O I H (Redstone old fort) O Uniontown Farmington POT OMA Cumberland C R IV Grantsville E M R O Maryland Forks of N Cacapon Harpers O N Fort Ashby Ferry G Brucetown A (Frankfort) H E Gainesboro L A Winchester R I West Virginia V Charles Town E R Virginia 1. With the exception of quoted primary sources, this document uses the contemporary spelling, Harpers Ferry, and not the 19th century spelling, Harper’s Ferry. Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia until June 20, 1863, when the state of West Virginia was created by Presidential Proclamation. 2.

  • Somerset County1
    SOME ASPECTS OF THE SOCIAL HISTORY OF SOMERSET COUNTY1 ALVIN G FAUST County, Pennsylvania, was organized in 1795 out of a Somersetportion of Bedford County lying west of the Alleghenies. Originally it included a large portion of Cambria County, which was formed from parts of Somerset and Huntingdon in 1804. The history of the county represents a unique area in a unique situation. It covers 1,034 square miles of tableland lying between two mountain ranges that formed a dual barrier on the westward route to the greatest open area of fertile, unoccupied land known to modern civilized man. Against this wall the westward movement dammed up like a great flood for one hundred years, until suddenly by one great rush for freedom itburst through by two major breaches and sped on its way along the Ohio Valley into the great open plains. Over these routes moved the armies that won posses- sion of this great domain for the English, with the result that theirs and not those of the French became the language and the governmental and religious institutions of this greatest of modern nations. Through this region passed some of the finest pioneering souls that the East produced, and the loss of whom itseverely protested. 2 The East gave much to the region. The region gave much to the West. Fortu- nately, some of the leading pioneers stayed inthis vigorous atmosphere, so suited to develop their fine native traits. The culture of Europe and the seaboard flowed freely into and diffused within the area, which happily was sufficiently isolated to allow a healthy development without undue eternal pressure orinterference.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 53 October 1970 Number 4 MIGRATIONS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS TO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA Homer T. Rosenberger from Europe and the British Isles to America and Migrationsultimately to the four corners of continental United States comprise a fascinating study. The identifying of the migra- tions of any one major segment of the vast throng, throughout a half- dozen or more generations, is not an easy task. In general the early arrivals settled near the Atlantic coast. Later waves of immigrants tended to move beyond the coastal area in order to find inexpensive land. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries hundreds of thousands of people from the British Isles and from German-speaking parts of Europe migrated west. InNew York they followed the Mohawk Trail and later used the Erie Canal from Albany to Buffalo. InPennsylvania they travelled the Lancaster Turnpike, opened in 1797 from Phila- delphia to Lancaster, and the Pennsylvania State Road from Phila- delphia to Pittsburgh via Lancaster, now known as the Lincoln High- way or U.S. Route 30, a thoroughfare dating back to the construction of the Forbes Road in 1758. In the 1840's a large proportion of the persons travelling from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh on their way to the Ohio country rode the cars of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad and the boats on the Pennsylvania Canal which were carried over the mountains by the Allegheny Portage Railroad.

The Snake Spring Valley contains a series of important historic trails and roads, each built on the remains of those that came before. From early native trails to the modern Pennsylvania Turnpike, each resulted from steady improvements in technology and the public’s desire for increased mobility, speed, and convenience. Although many of the early routes were obliterated by later development, traces still survive in the landscape. Recent historical and archaeological studies completed in connection with improvements to US Route 30 provided an opportunity to rediscover the area’s fascinating transportation history. ® ISBN 0-89271-119-5 Scott D.

  • Eighteenth-Century Inns Andtaverns of Western Pennsylvania John W
    EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY INNS ANDTAVERNS OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA JOHN W. HARPSTER 1 the first white men in western Pennsylvania were traders Amongwho followed the Delaware and Shawnee Indians on their removal from the East. By the time of the military campaigns of Braddock and Forbes these traders had well-defined routes of travel into the region. The Kittanning orFrankstown Path from the Juaniata Valley toKittan- ning on the Allegheny River, and the Raystown Path from the Susque- hanna to the Ohio were the main routes followed by the Pennsylvania traders. Traveling with pack horses, these traders could make no great distance ina day, and many overnight stops were necessary. They usually wrapped themselves inblankets before a fire and slept inthe open. Certain points on their paths, such as those that were known as "Ray's Town" and "Frank's (Stephen's) Town", were merely trading houses or sleep- ing places that the traders used on their western trips. At a large Indian town a trader oragent might stop at a trading house, as did Conrad Weis- er, who wrote that on his arrival at Logstown in 1748 he "lodged at this Town at George Croghan's Trading House." Other houses or cabins at which the early travelers lodged belonged to the Indians, and John Harris in 1754 mentioned two of them on the Raystown Path, "the Shawana Cabbins" and "Kickeney Paulin's House, (Indian)" as convenient sta- tions on the way to the West. 2 Such trading houses or Indian cabins were permanent structures, and the accommodation of travelers was of secondary importance.

  • Notes and Documents
    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS MINUTES OF THE YOUNG MEN'S WHIG ASSOCIATION OF PITTSBURGH, 1834 American System of Henry Clay and the National Repub- Thelicans had captivated the majority of western Pennsylvanians dur- ing the years from 1816 to 1823. Even the farmers of the region had supported the tariff of 1816, the Second United States Bank, and the development of roads and transportation facilities. But sentiment in west- ern Pennsylvania began its swing toward Andrew Jackson as early as 1820, and by 1824 the majority of the voters in the western counties preferred Jackson, still a National Republican, for the presidency of the United States. During the administration of John Quincy Adams, from 1825 t0 1829, friends of Jackson, particularly Henry Baldwin of Pitts- burgh, vigorously urged "OldHickory's" candidacy, withthe result that Jackson swept not only western Pennsylvania but all the agricultural sec- tions of the state inthe election of 1828. Jackson's bitter attack on the bank, his indifference to a higher pro- tective tariff,and his disregard for John Marshall and the rulings of the Supreme Court created a furor among the financial and industrial in- terests in western Pennsylvania during his first administration. The agrarian element was decidedly opposed to the bank, however, and even many Pittsburghers believed that Nicholas Biddle, president of the bank, and other Philadelphia financiers discriminated against Pittsburgh bank- ers in the policy of charging higher rates of interest on loans than were placed on the loans to New York bankers. Consequently, western Penn- sylvania was definitely pro-Jackson in 1832. The withdrawal of the federal deposits from the bank the following year increased the fear of the pro-bank men and the protectionists.

Colonel James Burd of Pennsylvania served his country from the beginning of that world-wide conflict. In 1755 he built a road over which supplies were to have been taken to Braddock's army. This road, sixty-five miles long, ran from near Shippensburg to the crest of the Allegheny Mountains. In1756 he builtFort Morris inShippensburg and assisted in the building of several other fortifications, and later he was as- signed to the Third Battalion, which was stationed on the upper Susque- hanna where Sunbury is now located. There Burd was largely responsi- ble for the building of Fort Augusta, considered the most important out- post in the colony. In 1757, at the resignation of the colonel," Burd was given command of the battalion; upon the reorganization of the regi- ment shortly afterwards he became commander of the Second Battalion and was given supervision of the nine eastern forts in addition to Fort Augusta. In1758 he assisted Forbes by building lines of communication, and on September 3 he started the construction of Fort Ligonier.
