Braddock tried to reach Fort Pitt by that road.

The other end and stone barn had been built by its present proprietor.

A log mill, the oldest in Allegheny county, stood below the barn, and to it the French soldiers had come for meal from Fort Duquesne.

The stream crossed by the bridge was the mill-race, and the waterfall made by the waste-gate.

It was the homestead of a soldier of the Revolution, one of Washington's lieutenants--the old man we had seen.
