Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American History, From 1607 to 1816
England, confined by the barrier of the Appalachians, made no westward movement for many years. Later, the Potomac and the Ohio gave them one route west, and the Cumberland Gap another. The Cumberland Gap was a pass in the Cumberland Mountains in southwestern Vir ginia on the borders of Kentucky and Tennessee; through it, a mountain trail led into the most fertile part of Ken tucky, this being used at a later period by many emigrants.
