The Gaines Trace was a road in the Mississippi Territory. It was constructed in 1811 and 1812 from the Tennessee River (opposite the Elk River's mouth) to Cotton Gin Port on the upper Tombigbee River and on to Fort Stoddert on the lower Tombigbee. The portion from the Tennessee River to Cotton Gin Port was surveyed in 1807 and 1808 by Edmund P. Gaines, the road's namesake. In 1816, the Gaines Trace and the Tombigbee River were the boundaries between American and Chickasaw territory. The trace intersected Jackson's Military Road in Russellville, Alabama. Tennessee Street in Courtland, Alabama, was a portion of the trace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Historical Marker Database )〕 == References == * Elliott, Jack D. and Wells, Mary Ann. (2003).
