Remarks: One of the most important trails, both in peace and in war, in the West. The main route for the Sandusky-Virginian fur trade. The old-time "war path" through the mountains to the Cherokee country of the south. Main route of invasions on Kentucky and for the invasions of the Indian country from Kentucky during the Revolutionary War. Connected all the Shawanese villages from the mouth of the Scioto to the valley of the Sandusky. For best map in Kentucky, see Filson's map; in Ohio, Pownall's, in Middle British Colonies.
