Chronicled on these pages are the names and stories of a closely-knit group of intrepid pioneers of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry, who in the early 1740's left the relative safety of the Potomac Path and traveled the Ox Road into the forested foothills of the Virginia Piedmont. Settling near the crossroads of Indian paths later known as the Colchester and Carolina Roads, today Gilbert's Corner, and along Little River of Goose Creek, including Owsley's Branch, this group began to clear and till the land to establish their homesteads. Their ancestors had been among the first settlers along the banks of the Potomac River between Dogue Creek and the Occoquan River. The network of families included Hall, West, Owsley, Smarr, Stephens, Pearl, Owens and Murray. Other Potomac Path English families who acquired land in the Little River neighborhood included Carter, Mercer, Washington, Fairfax, Cocke, Green, Marshall, Wade, and Bayley.An in-depth study of the origin and development of Robert Carter III's Goose Creek Tract details the owners of land grants near the south half of the 1727 Goose Creek Tract grant, and secondly the rise of tenancy on Goose Creek Tract beginning in 1755 is explored based on Robert Carter III's personal papers and from other original documents. The individual leases are mapped to provide a visualization of their location, and are organized by general location; the southeast quarter later owned by William Carr Sr.'s estate, the southwest quarter later owned by Joseph Jones and President James Monroe, and the north quarters later owned by Robert Carter III's sons George and John Tasker Carter beginning in 1798. An analysis of Loudoun County Land Tax lists is used to identify and track the ownership of the leases from 1782 to 1830.This volume is the second of an American history series that chronicles the passage of a group of English and Scotch-Irish pioneers through a series of frontiers, beginning at Jamestown, Virginia, then up the Potomac River, later inward to the Virginia Piedmont, next westward to Kentucky and finally into the heartland of Missouri.

Lawyer and journalist, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Louis Houck is often called the “Father of Southeast Missouri” because he brought the railroad to the region and opened this backwater area to industrialization and modernization. Although Houck’s name is little known today outside Missouri, Joel Rhodes shows how his story has relevance for both the state and the nation. Rhodes presents a more complete picture of Houck than has ever been available: reviewing his life from his German immigrant roots, considering his career from both social and political perspectives, and grounding the story in both state and national history. He especially tells how, from 1880 to the 1920s, this self-taught railroader constructed a network of five hundred miles of track through the wilderness of wetlands known as “Swampeast Missouri”—and how these “Houck Roads” provided a boost for population, agriculture, lumbering, and commerce that transformed Cape Girardeau and the surrounding area. Rhodes discusses how Houck fits into the era of economic individualism—a time when men with little formal training shaped modern industry—and also gives voice to Houck’s critics and shows that he was not always an easy man to work with. In telling the story of his railroading enterprise, Rhodes chronicles Houck’s battle with the Jay Gould railroad empire and offers key insight into the development of America’s railway system, from the cutthroat practices of ruthless entrepreneurs to the often-comic ineptness of start-up rail lines. More than simply a biography of a business entrepreneur, the book tells how Houck not only developed the region economically but also followed the lead of Andrew Carnegie by making art, culture, and formal education available to all social classes. Houck also served for thirty-six years as president of the Board of Regents of Southeast Missouri State Teacher’s College, and as a self-taught historian he wrote the first comprehensive accounts of Missouri’s territorial period. A Missouri Railroad Pioneer chronicles a multifaceted career that transformed a region. Solidly researched, this lively narrative also offers an entertaining read for anyone interested in Missouri history.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most celebrated accounts of life on the Virginia frontier ever written. However, it is more than that, for it is also the genealogical account of the Draper and Ingles families, who were later memorialized in the novels of Laura Ingles Wilder. Mr. Hale's concern, of course, is on "the progressive frontier explorations and settlements along the entire Virginia border, from the Alleghenies to the Ohio, and from the New River-Kanawha and tributaries in the Southwest, where settlements first began, to the Monogahela and tributaries, in the Northwest and along the Ohio, where the frontier line of settlements was last to be advanced. . . ." His focal point is the region of the New River-Kanawha in present-day Montgomery and Pulaski counties, Virginia. Chronologically, the account picks up in the 1740s but truly hits its stride in 1755 with the Indian attack at Draper's Meadows, which resulted in the deaths of a number of settlers and the capture (and ultimate escape) of Mary Ingles and Bettie Draper. The author ably uses the device of the Indian raid and subsequent flight to tell us about life along the frontier and the names of the families who settled there. Other chapters are devoted to the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774 and biographical sketches of its participants. Point Pleasant, in fact, prefigured the conflicts that characterized the frontier theater of the American Revolution. Elsewhere Mr. Hale provides a detailed chronology of milestones along the Trans-Allegheny, Daniel Boone's years along the New River-Kanawha, and a sketch of the early history and progress of nearby Charleston, West Virginia. This is essential reading for anyone interested in frontier history or the genealogies of mid-18th century families who resided in the Valley of Virginia.
