The road ran from Wheeling, West
Virginia, to Maysville, hen called
Limestone, on the Ohio river, and
passed through the sites of the fu-
ture st. C~lairsville, Cambridge,
GAINESVILLE, Lancaster, Chillicothe,
West Union and Aberdeen. Because
those towns were built along it and
in their beginning the road was their
main street, Zane's trace often was
referred to as "the Main Street of
Ohio"
The Great Lakes and the Ohio Riv-
er had provided ways into the Indian
country for settlers who located near
them but for those who wanted to
settle in the interior only a long trip
on foot or on horseback with their
possessions on a pack-horse and
through an unbroken forest was pos
sible. If the pioneer brought his
household goods and property along
in a wagon a way had to be hacked
for it through the wilderness.
Zane's trace remedied the deficien-
ley. From its completion immigrants
staggered along its rough, tree-lined
course and as a few towns sprang up
along it travel became so heavy and
ruts so deep that a horse barely could
climb out of one of the latter.
Bridgeport, Belmont County, was
the first settlement in Ohio on Zane's
trace. Joseph Kirkwood built a cab.
