Excerpt from The Wilderness Road: A Description of the Routes of Travel by Which the Pioneers and Early Settlers First Came to Kentucky; Prepared for the Filson Club The story of the remarkable immigration to Kentucky which commenced in 1775, and in less than twenty years created a State in the Western wilderness with a population of nearly one hundred thousand, is more traditional than historical. Many are now living, among our Older citizens, who remember how their fathers and mothers told them of their travel to Kentucky from Virginia, or the Carolinas, or Mary land, or Pennsylvania. The greater portion of this travel in the early days was over the Old Wilderness Road, though many persons made their way down the Ohio. N O attempt has been made to gather up the fragmentary accounts of this travel in the form of an historic narrative. The account herewith presented, was prepared for the Filson Club, and is published by its direction for the purpose of preserving the facts and incidents it contains, and in the hope that it will stimulate further research and the produc tion of additional historic material pertaining to the early Kentucky annals.
