The Wilderness Road to Kentucky Its Location and Features #245124

The location which I have given it has been based, for the most part, upon actual examination of the road itself. I have not attempt ed to make an extensive examination of historical manuscripts, but it has happened that while making this study I have come upon numerous documents, such as old surveys, deeds, and local maps of the road, and I have used some published records of the Draper Collection. But most of the information has been gotten from per sonal examination of the road, or from conferences with residents of the various districts through which it passes. I have imposed through correspondence and interviews upon the good nature of more persons that I can mention. I have been particularly fortunate in getting the help of Colonel James Maret, of Mt. Vernon and Lexington, Ky., and Professor R. M. Addington.
