150TH ANNIVERSARY known local families, have enlisted. in
: the U. 8. Army and are beginning
training at Langley Field, Va.

dressed in coonskin clothing and fringed

and Pennsylvania rifle, powder horn and
tomahawk,
They are commemorating the 150th an-
niversary of the historic trek of New
England settlers through this state to
found Marietta, Ohio, first legal colony
in the "Old Northwest Territory.”
Not content merely to plod along in
the wake of their predecessors, the mem-
bers of today’s caravan are presenting
historical pageants in every town where
they stop for; the night.
Towns to be visited, and dates of ar-
rival, follow:
En route through Pennsylvania, the
modern “pioneers” will revive memories of
the hardships overcome by those who
made the same journey 150 years before.
At Swatara creek, near Harrisburg,
they will pass near the spot where the
first settlers were forced to break the ice
to ford the creek.
At the foot of Kittatinny mountain,
west of Carlisle, they will see where the
first settlers built sleds to cross the moun-
tains after deep snows made their wagons
useless.
Finally, at West Newton, on the You-
ghiogheny, they .will build a replica of
the “Adventure Galley,” which carried the
pioneers of 1788 down the rivers to Mar-
ietta.
That ancient boat, largest to sail the
Ohio up to that time, will be duplicated.
Forty-eight feet long, 14 feet wide, the
boat will require three months’ labor to
build. Then, accompanied by rafts and
canoes, as long ago, the craft will carry
the modern Argonauts to Marietta.
Floating downstream, the flotilla will
reach Pittsburgh April 1; Beaver Falls
April 2, and leave the State the next day.
In retelling the story of the caravan,
the Pennsylvania State Publicity Commis.
sion corrected an impression that Penn-
sylvania was a trackless wilderness when
the Marietta settlers crossed the State.
Maps of the period show well-defined
roads along most of the route, not only
in the then settled country east of Harris
burg, but also across the high mountains
of the western part of the State. For a
part of the distance, they followed the
Forbes Military road cut 30 years before.
