John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 8: The Narrows, near Cumberland, Md.
1908
Cumberland, MD 21502Caption:
The difficulty experience by the advanced party under Major Chapman, caused Braddock himself to reconnoiter Wills Mountain. Mr. Spend low, Lieutenant of the Seamen acquainted the General, that in passing through the narrows he had discovered a valley leading around the foot of Wills Mountain. In two days the road was built intersecting the other road in the neighborhood of Allegany Grove. It was through the narrows that Braddock's main force and supplies began to pass on June 7. The present National Road passes through the narrows of Wills Creek along Braddock's Run. The entrance to the narrows as well as the narrows themselves present one of the most beautiful scenes in the Alleghenies. (See Nos. 3-7)
