GREAT INDIAN WARRIOR
/ TRADING PATH
(The Great Philadelphia Wagon Road)
The most heavily traveled road in Colonial
America passed through here, linking areas from the Great Lakes
to Georgia. Laid on animal trails and Native American Trading
/ Warrior Paths. Treaties among the Governors of New York, Pennsylvania
and Virginia and nineteen chiefs of the Iroquois League of Five
Nations in 1685 and 1722, opened the colonial backcountry for
peaceful settlement and colonization in Georgia. The Path had
two branches from Carolina, the western branch to Augusta and
the eastern to Savannah, formed to find salt and game.
