MARKING THE
NATCHEZ A
An Historic Highway of the
Lower South
BY MRS. DUNBAR ROWLAND
Continued From Last Week.

Continued From Last Week.
In those early days Lorenzo
Dow, the famous herald of Meth
odism, with his wife, Peggie.
lived in the Natchez country for
several years, erecting in the
town of Washington the little
brick church in which later the
first constitutional convention OF
Mississippi territory was held.
While going to and fro in that
country it was his business to
preach up and down the old Trail,
and he sometimes made note IN
his diary Of 1.-THE Word" touch
ing the heart of some sturdy en-
igrant. some aimless wayfarer or
wandering native, as he con-
versed with them at the camping
places along the lonely road. We
gather, too, from his diary with
what fear of massacre during the
night the travellers lay down to
sleep. How many were sacrl-
feed in that way while spying
out the land for us will never be
q matter of record.
Nor was Lorenzo Dow, the
great Methodist pioneer. the
only bearer of that light flowing
across the centuries from the tar
Judean hills, that the great Ash
bury hoped to set aloft in these
beautiful Magnolia regions. 9th
ers, notably among them Tobias
Gibson, Newton Wick, Thomas
Griffin, Richmond Motley and
others, bore it over the lonely old
Trail to the down country, and
from all accounts, "Natchez I'M
der the Hill''-a veritable city
sitting in darkness stood much
in need of it.
Much of the early history and
romance of the great Trail, like
the story of the native tribes
dwelling along it's winding course
has been lost to American litera-
ture; but far away from up and
down the lonely road through the
vast wilderness there comes to
Us faint echoes of human passion,
as dark and stormy as one might
expect from a LeFleur of Latin
blood and the red-skinned Prln-
cess Rebecca of the Choctaw ma
ton. Yet, in this instance, as
in some others, this passion mel
lowed into the steady glow of do
mestic happiness.
Though the offspring of this
union bore the indellible impress
of things ancestral and regarded
reverently the traditions and leg
ends that served for the history
of the red people of the Trail, he
also exhibited many traits OF his
cousins-german across the seas.
Many eerie pleadings OF his kind
red to return to the wild rung In
his ears, but the voice of his al
ter ego-his other and stronger
self-beckoned him to the beaten
paths where the h%earthstone, the
altar and the plowed field were
among the insignia and the cher
ished tokens of life.
1t is true that since those dim
romantic and ch~ivalrous days
when the French had settled in

only to suddenly pass from it
with the beloved lilies drenched
nm the blood of Fort Rosalie; and
England and Spain had in turn
raised and lowered their ensigns,
some thought at times was given
to the ACCESSIBILITY of absorbing
the will red race into the Euro
pean civilization that had been
rtransplanted to the Western Con-
tinent. But, finding the expert
ment a hazardous one, the primi-
tive theory of the Angles Saxon,

the treaty of Chickasaw Bluffs
was concluded October "a, 1901,
whereby the ChickasaWs conced-
ed to the United States the right
to lay out. open, and make con-
venient wagon road through their
land, between the settlements of
Nero District in the State OF
Tennessee, and those of Natchez
in the Mississippi Territory
: and the same shall be a
highway for the citizens OF the
United States and the Chicka-
saws Also the treaty of Fort
Adams, concluded December II,
1901, with the Choctaws, where
by that nation consented that a
convenient and durable wagon
way may be explored, marked,
opened and made through their
lands, to commence at the north
ern extremity Of the settlements
of the Mississippi Territory, and
to be extended from thence, UNI
til it shall strike t h e lands
claimed by the Chickasaw nation
and the same shall be and con-
tlnue forever a highway for the
citizens of the United States and
the Choctaws."
In November, 1901, General
Wilkinson asked the Assembly,
through Governor Claiborne, to
Immediately appoint commission
ers to mark a route for a perma-
nent highway from Grindstone
Ford, by way of Fort Adams to
the line of demarcation, where
upon he would build the road, as
it was needed for free commun-
ication to the sea for succor, or
retreat in case of exigency.'
THE road from the national
boundary was laid out in 1902.
The Governors journal shows
that Hugh Davis and John Col
Inns were two of the commission
ers, and James Patton a marker.
South of Natchez this road ran
close to the river to a station
called Tomlinson's, sixteen miles
distant, thence via Homochitto
Ferry, four miles, Buffalo Bridge,
ten miles, Fort Adams, sixteen
miles, and Pickneyville, eleven
miles.
April q, 1896, Congress APP
propriated Sc, 900 for the purpose
of opening the road through the
Indian country in conformity to
the above treaties.
In 1915, a committee of Con-
gress, appointed to enquire into
the eXpediency of repairing and
keeping in repair, tie road from
Natchez to Nashville, reported
in favor of an appropriation for
that purpose, stating that the
subject was then unusually inter-
esting from the efforts of the
enemy to seize upon the empori-
UNI of an immense country, as
we'll as other positions in the
same quarter, of less, though
great Importance to the United
States An appropriation bill
was passed in accordance with
the recommendations of the COM
mittee.
THE Natchez Trace crossed
the Tennessee River a few miles
below the Mussell Shoals, at Col
bert's Ferry and thence pur-
sued a southwesterly course
through the country of the Choc-
Jaws and Chickasaws, to the
'Grindstone Ford on the Bayou
Pierre, thence ran south and
west to Natchez; south of Match

followed the general trend Of the

try had become a part OF the
newly-formed republic, one of
the first concerns of the Federal
authorities, who sympathized
with conditions in the outlying
districts, was to open up IAN over
land route to the older settled
regions of the United States.
This action was not prompted
by commercial reasons only i'm
portant as avenues of trade are
always shown to be, in the case
Of new communities. There
were other and more vital con-
siderations in its favor. The
troublous times made it necessary
for the military to move over the
roads connecting the interior set

ten so prevalent in a new and
but partly settled country. Tray
elers were robbed up and down
the lonely trails, not only by the
lawless white men who had
sought the territory. but by the
native red savages as we'll.
Samuel Mason, one of the most
famous and desperate of bandits,
aided by a band no less defiant
and lawless than himself, operat-
ed on, and in the vicinity of, this
famous road during the years
1901 to 1903.
1t was during Claiborne's ad-
ministration that the road along
this old northward Trail from
Natchez was finally perfected.
Early maps on record in Wash
ington City trace 1T through its
present region, connecting it
above Nashville with the great
National Road leading to the
east. 1t has been sometimes
called the Mill tary Road,
but should not be COMPOUNDED
with Jackson's Military Road
which was surveyed later. At
various times and places the road
bore different names, such as
Government Road, Robinson
Road and Military Road, but the
whole route was known as the
Natchez-Nashville road, and has
finally descended to history as
the Natchez Trace.
A condensed account of the
legislation enacted for the con-
! struction of the road is here tax.
en- from the Encyclopedia of
Mississippi History, which is the
most authentic printed history
concerning it, having been gath
cred from the original records of
the State. 1t reads as follows:
las soon as the Spaniards fl
nally evacuated the Natchez Dis
trict, and Immediately after the
organization of the territorial
government of Mississippi, the
Federal authorities empowered
Gen. Wilkinson, then in command
of the United States troops at
Natchez and Fort Adams, to en-
ter into certain negotiations with
the Indian tribes south of Ten
nessee. One of the principal
objects of the negotiations with
the Indians was to obtain their
consent to the opening of public
roads and mail routes from the
settlements of the Natchez Dist
riot to the frontier settlements of
Tennessee and Georgia, thereby
facilitating intercourse and trade
and promoting emigration to the
new Mississippi territory. All
the vast region extending north
and east of the Natchez District

tant white settlements on the
Cumberland River, Tennessee,

'tainment along this route. as
well as to control the numerous
ferries. Probability the MAORI
ty of the inns and small stores
that subsisted on the travel over
the Trace, were kept by half
breeds, many of whom, like Le-
flores (as the name of the LIE
Fleurs was anglicised), amassed
considerable wealth in trade, and
became men of influence in their
communities. The historian.
Claiborne, ascribes the general
safety of travel along the Trace
to the influence of these half
breed inn-keepers.
The following list of the sta
tlons that sprang up along the
road, between Natchez and Nash
vile, and the distance in miles
intervening, is taken from the
Missississippi and Louisiana AL
manac for the year 1918, which
was printed and sold at Natchez
by Andrew Marschalk, one of
the notable characters of the ear

HISTORIC PLACES ALONG THE
NATCHEZ TRACE
Natchez. MANY of the old
stations along the Natchez Trace
have become extinct, others have
survived t h transforming
changes of a century, and a few
have grown to be cities of impor-
lance. Among the last named is
the City of Natchez, whose his
toric associations and magnif-
cent family estates extending out
many miles beyond the city's
present limits, and preserving
as President Taft said, 1.-The spir-
it of old things" stamp it as one
of the most interesting cities of
America.
In the early days of the coun-
try, not only the Trace, but all
roads lead to Natchez, for this
garden-spot Of the great South
west had sent her invitation
broadcast over the civilized
world. and many accepted her
gracious courtesy, pitched their
tents by her great river, and be-
came sinew of her sinew and
bone Of her bone. An interest
ing volume could be written
about this city alone.
