Many trails were well established by the time Europeans immigrated to the colonies. The original 'travelers' on these trails were various types of wildlife as they moved from place to place in search of grazing lands, salt sources and fresh water. Native Americans were familiar with trails and utilized them for thousands of years prior to settlement by Europeans. The paths were also used to wage war, thus the phrase: "war path". Because they were often well worn, relatively easy to follow and led to grazing lands and fresh water Europeans utilized them as well on foot, horseback and with wagons. Many of the trails, or portions of them, were eventually utilized in the construction of roads and highways in modern times. |
