Nemacolin's Path
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nemacolin's Path was a Native American trail situated between the Potomac River and the Monongahela River, USA. The trail starts from a site in present day Cumberland, Maryland, continuing on to Brownsville, Pennsylvania to the mouth of Redstone Creek. From 1749-1750, the trail was cleared by the Delaware Indian Chief Nemacolin and Maryland frontiersman Thomas Cresap.
Later, during the French and Indian War, Nemacolin's path was used as military route for General Edward Braddock's ill-fated attempt to capture Fort Duquesne.
