[xvii] Alexander
Spotswood
was
the American Colonial Governor. He
recommended that a Virginia company be established to carry on trade with
the Indians. At his urging forts
were constructed along the frontier. He
organized and conducted an exploring expedition into the Shenandoah Valley
(17 Aug - 20 Sep 1716). The
expedition reached the water-parting between the Atlantic and the Ohio
River. To his comrade in this
expedition he presented a small golden horseshoe, engraved with "Sic
juvat transcendere montes"
