  Kittanning Path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kittanning Path was a major east-west Native American trail in western Pennsylvania used during the 18th century.
In 1755, the Lenape chief Shingas used the trail to attack British settlements in the Juniata River, returning with prisoners to the village of Kittanning.
Armstrong earned the title "the Hero of Kittanning" for the raid, and later went on to serve as a Major General for the United States in the American Revolutionary War and to serve in the Second Continental Congress.
