I didn't know history could be this much fun., October 6, 2006
This review is from: Paving the Way: Asphalt in America (Hardcover)
The story in the book about Eisenhower crossing the country in 1919 with a caravan of vehicles was very interesting. It showed the deplorable state of roads at that time and why Ike was so dedicated to improving roads when he became president. The role of asphalt in helping to win battles in World War II was also enlightening.

History of roads in America., September 18, 2010
This review is from: Paving the Way: Asphalt in America (Hardcover)
I found this book in a thrift store and was pleasantly surprised. It was published by the National Asphalt Pavement Association but isn't propaganda for asphalt. It's more a history of roads and roadbuilding materials in America.
