Title: The Buffalo Trace
First published: 1946
Description: There was a trail from the Falls of the Ohio to Vincennes in frontier times that may have been originally created and used by the herds of buffalo that once lived in the area. Early travel accounts referred to it as the Vincennes Trace, Louisville Trace, Old Indian Trail, Trace to the Falls, and other names. Local residents of Vincennes referred to it as the “Buffalo Trace”. This long paper examines various accounts of it, and provides several maps.
