Those Leading In and Out
of Nauuoo are Among the
Most Interesting Ones.

II. S. Salisbury writing on the
above subject in the Carthage Re-
publican has the following about trails
leading to or from Nauvoo:
One of the principal trails Of Han
cock county was the Commerce and
Rushvil1e state road. 1t extends from
Old Commerce, now TART of. Nau-
VOC on the Mississippi river. at the
head of the rapids, diagonally across
Hancock county through Carthage to
Plymouth and thence across Schuyler
country through Rushville to Boards
town on the Illinois rive, being al
most on line from NauvoO to
Beardstown. On the removal Of the
state capital to Springfield the stage
road took this trail from Springfield
to the Mississippi river and the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad follows near
this old trail from Springfield to
Beardstown, its present western ter
minus.
Isham Gillian Davidson, grand
father of /. C. Davidson, present
postmaster of Carthage, Illinois, drove
the stage from Springfield to Boards
town on this trail.
| The stage coach made regular trips
over this trail from Springfield to
| Nauyoo, and / have heard old settlers
tell of seeing the coach appear at
the edge of the clearing at Plymouth,
| the driver whipped up his four-horse
team for the grand entry while the
! man beside him winded horn, and
the inhabitants of the little group Of
| log cabins gathered in front of the
tavern to hear the latest news from
Springfield. l get this by direct ira
dition, as my grandfather, w. Jenkins
Salisbury, was a pioneer blacksmith
of Plymouth, and my father, D. c.
Salisbury, was born there in 1871.
| If you will examine road map OF
Hancock and Schuyler counties, you
| can see many places where the old
trail is still in use, as for instance,
the road northwest of Plymouth from
corner to corner of section 25. the
road crossing Brunce's Creek in that
section; in the northwest corner OF
ST. Mary's township and the south
east corner OF Carthage township

From Carthage to Long Creek the
trail is easily traced across the land
