The book delves into the evolution of American highways, tracing their origins from Indian trails to the macadamized roads that began defining travel in the United States. It explores significant routes such as Braddock's Road and Zane's Trace, along with the experiences of early travelers who navigated these increasingly vital pathways. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of how early American roads developed over time. It discusses the primitive conditions of trails established by Indigenous peoples and the early settlers' adaptations to enhance them for larger loads, particularly during the burgeoning pack-horse era. Through rich descriptions, Hulbert invites readers to visualize the challenging and often agonizing journeys taken by travelers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, detailing the impact of road conditions on daily life and commerce, while foreshadowing the changes that would accompany the advent of more advanced road systems.
