Wildly famous in American history as a very crucial section of 'The Wilderness Road', this footpath was first pointed out to the region's early settlers of European descent by one Dr. Thomas Walker- and subsequently widened by... loggers... led by one Daniel Boone in 1775. Within the next 25 years, more than 200,000 settlers migrated to Kentucky/Virginia via this route.
