ing out favorable places on the line
than they ever received credit for.
They knew every gap and depression
as hunters. Even the buffalo, elk
and deer have instinctively shown
scientific inqulrers how and where
to locate roads.
1t is fact to be noted that the
Braddock's road never had any leg
islatiYe sanction, or recognition, nor
was it improved or kept up by the
State. In two or three instances,
it is referred to as land mark
merely. Still it was used as pub
lie highway for not less than forty
years and must have been kept up by
private means or enterprise.
After the close of the revolution
arY war the trend of migrants and
traffic set in towards the West.
There were then two trans-Allegany
highways; Braddock and Forbes
roads, both military in the begin
ming. The latter parallel with the
former, about forty miles north in
Pennsylvania. The one the national
outlet for Maryland and Virginia
and the other for the people of
Eastern Pennsylvania. The peo-
pie of Western Pennsylvania took
early steps toward suitable road
from Unlontown to Winding ridge
where it intersected the Maryland
line, in view Of this our Legislature

pointed George Dent, William Nc
Mahon and Even GwynD, commits
sioners, ''Io survey, straighted and

have or may subscribe to the same,
the road not exceeding 40 feet in

Cumberland to a tract of land called
Goodwill and then to intersect

it enters this State at Winding
Ridge. The road when so opened
at the expense of said persons and

UNUSED CHARTER,

If any proceedings were ever had
under this act there is no record to
show it, at least none can be found
and tradition is silent on the SUBJ
ject.
Inasmuch as the expenses would
be heavy upon the petitioners, it is
to be presumed the law was never
executed. Still the old Braddock
road continued in public favor and
usefulness till Congress came to its
relief in 1906, by appropriating
100000 to the opening of a road
from Cumberland to the Ohio river,
to be known thereafter as the"Cum-
berland road"
THE NATIONAL TURN PIKE.
TO meet the national act of the
general government our Legislature
by an act of 1906, chapter 70, gave
the consent of the State to the laying
out of road by the United States
to the Ohio river. Appropriations
haye been made by Congress from
year to year until 1888, when the
road reached from Cumberland,
Nd, to the Mississippi river, op-
poslte st. Louis, to the aggregate of
81, 284, 0S6,41.
PARALLEL, CO-INCIDENT AND d.
VERGENT.
1t should be stated that the Cum
berland road does not follow the
line of the Braddock but a small
portion of the way, sometimes on
the one side then on the other, but
for the most on the left. The two
ways cross each other three times in
the 80 miles in Maryland. The be-
ginning of the Cumberland road
was at the intersection of Baltimore
and Mechanic streets IN Cumber-
land. At the corner of the old
Semmes Block was planted the first
iron mile post, with an inscription
upon it like this, 1856 miles to Wheel
ing. 1t stood there as striking
memorial of generations now past,
until a few years ago. Where is il
now? Can't some friend of history
and tradition hunt it for mementc
of the good old days now remem
bered by the very few? J.B
