About this webinar
Before the Revolutionary War, geography, topography and a strong indigenous people presence shaped migration patterns. This webinar covers the dominant push-pull forces and challenges for colonial migration. Using maps and other graphics, the major migration routes by region will be described: New England, mid-Atlantic and southward from Virginia. Famous paths such as the Kings Highway, the Great Valley Road, and the Fall Line Road as well as less well-known paths such as the Greenwood Path and the Forbidden Path will be covered. Using a set of case studies, the process of locating clues in local histories, land records, and vital records is unfolded.

Ann G Lawthers never disappoints! She always has appropriate media to get her message to each viewer. I enjoy her webinars - always.
How to ask a question? I want to know if there is documetation for the people in Dutchess county, NY who were forced to leave property which later became the military academy, West Point.
Very well prepared and presented while maintaining my interest. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative!
