e/McCulloch's Path

New Query

Information
has glosseng: McCulloch's Path was an early colonial route through Western Maryland. This path, which owed its origin to American Bison, affords an interesting illustration of the fact that the pioneers of the West were greatly indebted to the buffalo for their first passageways; what adds to the interest is the fact that this was as true in the Alleghenies as in Kentucky and all the Midwestern United States; the range of the buffalo did not extend to the Atlantic seaboard, but references made by George Washington in his diary of September, 1784 suggest that it extended at least to Western Maryland.
