General Braddock's army camped here on July 7, 1755, on its way to capture Fort Du Quesne. The deep and rugged ravines and steep, almost perpendicular precipices of the Turtle Creek defile caused the army to turn at Stewartsville into the valley of Long Run and continue to the Monongahela camp at McKeesport, about eight miles away.
