"Braddock's Road and Three Relative Papers" by Archer Butler Hulbert Archer Butler Hulbert was a historical geographer, writer, and professor of American history. The building of Braddock's Road in 1755 across the Alleghenies was the first significant token in the West of the British grit, which finally overcame. Few roads ever cost so much, ever amounted to so little at first, and then finally played so important a part in the development of any continent. This book discusses how important this road was to America's development.
