• Abstract:
  Let's get something straight: Baltimore was not the terminus of the National Road! The initial road went from Cumberland, Maryland, to Wheeling, Virginia (later West Virginia). It was eventually extended west to Vandalia, Illinois. It didn't go east to Baltimore. The Rambler wishes to put that myth to rest right here and doesn't want to see it in anything written after this article-not even on the Internet!
