Synopsis
This companion volume to "The National Road" is a guide to America's first federally-funded highway. It combines geographical and historical information to take readers on a 700-mile journey through America's heartland, from the Chesapeake Bay to the Mississippi River. There are chapter-length vignettes on each of the road's seven segments, and the road is traced through landmark Maryland towns such as New Market and Frederick, before it passes, further west, Fort Necessity Battlefield in Pennsylvania. This guide leads readers down a trail blazed by Native American hunting parties and settlers' conestoga wagons, mounted cavalry and model-T Fords, and shows how the National Road offers the serious traveller a rich and rewarding experience.
