Where Washington Crossed the Allegheny

We copy the follow ing waif Of local history

readers to have further information On this
point.
In 184I, the writer of this article called
upon the late James Ross, Sr., for the pur-
pose of obtaining information, if possible, as
to the precise spot from which General

possession of the faculty of memory. and on
the question being propounded, answered

4 times in regard to that very matter, and he
indicated to me the means of fixing the spot
