I neglected to mention that, as one of you stated, there was fear
(admittedly more imagined than real) in those who traveled west of the
Mts. before 1835 or thereabouts.

To the end that such travel not be discouraged, at the same time that
NC ordered the widening of the road through Crab Orchard Gap, now
known as US 70, it also provided that militiamen should patrol that
road, the fear being the Cherokees and occasional Creeks that
frequented the forests from the Blue Ridge to west of the Cumberlands.
