A long piece explores Perryopolis Fayette County naming after Washington and the Meadows land grant to George Washington amid 18th century real estate schemes. It recalls Washingtons Mill on Youghiogheny Creek and the early frontier struggles with Indians and transportation, plus a relic find in Danbury Connecticut linking Washington to Treason Hill.
