The terminus of Nemacolin's Path was Dunlap's Creek (Brownsville).
A mile-and-a-quarter below Dunlap's, enters Redstone Creek, and
the name "Redstone" became affixed to the entire region hereabout,
although "Monongahela" was sometimes used to indicate the
panhandle between the Monongahela and the Youghiogheny. In 1752,
the Ohio Company built a temporary warehouse at the mouth of
Dunlap's Creek, at the end of the over-mountain trail. In 1754,
Washington's advance party (Capt. Trent) built a log fort, called
"The Hangard," at the mouth of the Redstone, but this was, later
in the year, destroyed by the French officer De Villiers. In 1759,
Colonel Burd, as one of the features of Forbes's campaign against
Fort Duquesne, erected Fort Burd at the mouth of Dunlap's,
which was a better site. This fort was garrisoned as late as
the Dunmore War (1774), but was probably abandoned soon after the
Revolutionary War. The name "Redstone Old Fort" became attached
to the place, because within the present limits of Brownsville
were found by the earliest comers, and can still be traced,
extensive earthworks of the mound-building era.--R. G. T.

[18] Cross Creek empties into the Ohio through Mingo Bottom
(site of Mingo Junction, O.). On this bottom was, for many
years, a considerable Mingo village.--R. G. T.

[19] This statement, that Capt. Audley Paul commanded at
Redstone, and of his attempting to intercept a foraging Indian
party, can not possibly be true. There was no fort, and
consequently no garrison, at Redstone in 1758. It was not built
'till 1759, and then by Col. James Burd, of the Pennsylvania
forces. James L. Bowman, a native of Brownsville, the locality
of Redstone Old Fort, wrote a sketch of the history of that
place, which appeared in the _American Pioneer_ in February,
1843, in which he says: "We have seen it stated in a creditable
work, that the fort was built by Capt. Paul--doubtless an
error, as the Journal of Col. Burd is ample evidence to settle
that matter." Col. Burd records in his Journal: "Ordered, in
Aug. 1759, to march with two hundred of my battalion to the
mouth of Redstone Creek, to cut a road to that place, and to
erect a fort." He a
