The Burning Springs That Asked If You'd Ride Anyway
This episode explores the life of William Crawford, a surveyor and soldier who navigated the treacherous Ohio country. It asks what drives a man to confront impossible odds for what he believes in.
Person: William Crawford
Date: May 16, 1782
Location: Ohio wilderness
Age at last ride: 59
- William Crawford, born in 1722, was a surveyor who made claims and drew lines in the Ohio country, a skill that often blurred with being an explorer and soldier.
- He met George Washington around 1749, forming a partnership where Crawford served as Washington's trusted agent for scouting and investing in western lands.
- Crawford survived the catastrophic ambush at Monongahela in 1755, an experience that taught him and Washington the brutal realities of frontier warfare.
- In 1773, Crawford's expedition discovered the "Burning Springs of Kanawha," where water ignited when a flame was brought near, a phenomenon that astonished even the experienced frontiersman.
- During the Revolution, Crawford served as a Lieutenant Colonel and commanded Fort Pitt, but faced a new threat when former subordinate Simon Girty deserted to the British side in 1778, becoming an agent among the Ohio nations.
