Excerpt from The Old and New Monongahela

Pennsylvania, or Virginia, as it was originally called. The road over which this unfortunate man traveled in marching to his fatal battlefield on the Monongahela is still marked and well known in history. The early immigrants were generally from the eastern states, although many came direct from foreign coun~ tries. The Scotch - Irish were among the most prominent settlers, and did much by their manners and strict habits to give caste to the different settlements. The early settlers encountered many and very hazardous dangers and difficulties which in mod ern times cannot be fully estimated. Block houses for refuge and defense were established in every community into which in times Of threatened danger families resorted. These houses were different from Indian forts. They were built of round logs, compact and capable of resisting the arrow of the enemy. Guns, generally held by the whites, were used in defense and proved superior to the war implements of the attacking party.
