دانلود کتاب Trans-Allegheny Pioneers. Historical Sketches of the First White Settlements West of the Alleghenies 1748 and After

SYNOPSIS.
Progressively advancing settlements along the entire Virginia
border, from the New River-Kanawha and tributaries, in the
southwest, to the Monongahela and tributaries in the northwest,
the intervening country to the Ohio River and into

occurred, in after years, the desperate and bloody conflicts
of Braddock’s Fields and Point Pleasant, for the possession
of, and supremacy in, this fair western country.
To the New River-Kanawha, and tributaries, however, more
especial attention is here given; all sandwiched throughout
