John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 3: Cresaptown and Cumberland Roads, near Cumberland, Md.
1908
Cumberland, MD 21502Caption:
The old Braddock Road at the foot of Wills Mountain crossed at or near the present junction of the old Cumberland (or National) Road with the Cresaptown Road, thence proceeding westerly in a line almost parallel to the Old Cumberland Road, across Wills Mountain. No scar at this point is visible, but the course of the road is well defined. Major Chapman in May 30, 1755, with a detachment of 600 men marched at daybreak and began the ascent of Wills Mountain.
