Note 9 — Chapter III

Cf. Gist’s, Dr. Walker’s, Boone’s, Washington’s, Post’s, Zeisberger’s, Croghan’s, Heckewelder’s, journeys into the West as related in their Journals or letters; note the routes of such armies as those led by Bouquet and McIntosh which went from Fort Pitt to the interior of Ohio, or by Lewis which marched from Virginia to the mouth of the Great Kanawha, or by Harmar, St. Clair, and Wayne, which went northward from the Ohio river toward the Great Lakes. Troops were shipped frequently from Pittsburg and Detroit westward by water, but is there one instance where they were transported into the interior on the smaller rivers? Cf. Pentland’s Journal, “History of Western Pennsylvania,” appendix, pp. 389-391.
