- 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 Augusta, GA. Laid on ancient animal and Native American Trading/Warrior
Paths, Indian treaties among the governors of NY, PA, & VA
and the 19 chiefs of Iroquois League of Five Nations in 1685
and 1722, opened the Colonial Backcountry for peaceful settlement
and colonization. In GA, the Path had two branches from SC, the
western to Augusta and the eastern to Savannah, formed to find
salt and game.
