John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 27: Great Crossings (Youghiogheny), Somerfield, Pa.
1908
Somerfield, PACaption:
General Braddock crossed the Youghiogheny on June 24. It is difficult to determine the exact fording of the river. The most natural place seems to be just below the mouth of Braddock Run. Orme says the river was 'about one hundred yards wide, about three feet deep, with a very strong current.' At any rate he crossed the river, without bridging, about a half a mile above where the National Road now crosses it.
