- Nemacolins_Path abstract "Nemacolin's Trail, or less often Nemacolin's Path, was an ancient Native American trail that crossed the great barrier of the Allegheny Mountains via the Cumberland Narrows Mountain pass and connected the Potomac River and the Monongahela River watersheds on either side of the Allegheny range of the present-day USA. Nemacolin's Trail connected Cumberland, Maryland with what became Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The path was of a network of trails that existed in pre-colonial America. Nemacolin's Path starts from a site in present day Cumberland, Maryland, continuing on to Brownsville, Pennsylvania to the neighborhood known today as Redstone located at mouth of Redstone Creek. In colonial America, the site was known as Redstone Old Fort for its defensive installation. During 1749 and 1750, the Delaware Indian chief Nemacolin and Maryland frontiersman Thomas Cresap supervised improving the trail for the Ohio Company, at the behest of Christopher Gist, making it the template trail and in large part the route for what became known on the eastern slopes as the eastern part of Braddock's Road. In 1755, the eastern part of Nemacolin's Path was used as military route for British General Edward Braddock's ill-fated attempt to capture Fort Duquesne. It was forestalled by the capture of the force under Colonel George Washington at Fort Necessity, where he was staging supplies for a move down to the western trail head and crossing point on the Monongahela at Redstone Creek (now Brownsville, Pennsylvania).Crossing the Allegheny divide was a major task, requiring much planning, time and effort, until well into the 20th century—as evidenced by the lack of east-west highways for the length of the border between Virginia and West Virginia—the two regions sundered by some of the harshest terrain in the mountain chain. Crossing the Allegheny range to the north of the Cumberland Gap or to the south is feasible only hundreds of miles to either the north or south. The ridgelines are oriented north-south, presenting a virtually impassable obstacle to east-west travel.This was later improved as the Cumberland Road, the National Road, the National Pike, and eventually U.S. Route 40, or the National Highway. U.S. Route 40 became one of the first officially recognized highways in the United States. The earlier road, known as the Cumberland Road/National Road, ran on the first cast iron bridge constructed in the United States, at Dunlap's Creek. Nemacolin's Trail became the gateway by which settlers in Conestoga wagons or by stage coaches reached the promised lands of the American near and far west.".
