Excerpt from Incidents Attending the Capture, Detention, and Ransom of Charles Johnston of Virginia

Within this settled extension lay the Brad dock road, the first route opened to the trans Allegheny regions. It formed part of the easiest route to Kentucky. Passing up the Potomac, the traveler crossed the mountains by the Braddock road to the Monongahela. Floating down that stream to the Ohio, he found himself in time at Limestone, Kentucky, from which point of debarkation, a road led to the interior settled portions of the state. This route meant a long detour for residents of central or southern Virginia. Another route lay far to the South, the famous Wilderness Road, which sought the Shenandoah valley and the headwaters of the Tennessee, passing finally through the Cumberland Gap and thence into central Kentucky.
