A
Monument Marks The Spot Where The Famous Indian Fighter Escaped
His Pursuers By Going Over A Precipice One Hundred And Fifty
Feet In Height.
SIXTH DAY - From Wheeling to Cumberland, Md., passing Washington,
Pa., which was the first city in the United States to be named
for its first president.
Here is still standing the house of
Thomas Braddock, leader of the Whiskey Rebellion. At this place
the first community building in the United States was erected.
You will pass Braddock's grave, where a fine monument marks the
spot along the old national highway. It leads through the great
meadows of history, near where Ft. Necessity was built and which
marks the site of the first and only surrender Washington ever
made. Two centuries ago an Indian trail led through the
Allegheny mountains. Here may still be seen the place where
Washington crossed the road and tried to make his way to
Pittsburg, then called Ft. Duquesne. The mountain scenery here
is superb. Travelers will find a delightful place to rest in the
Ft. Cumberland Hotel.
SEVENTH DAY - Cumberland via Hagerstown across Massanutten
mountain to Luray Caverns, staying overnight at the Lawrence
Hotel.

Spent the night at the delightful Wayside Inn.

Metropolitan hotel while in Washington will be found a most
pleasant stopping place.
