On The Road To Yellowstone: The Yellowstone Trail And American Highways 1900-1930 is a unique and highly recommended contribution to American popular history which is enhanced with 276 photos, maps and documents. The focus is on the original and sometimes adventurous development of automobile access to the Yellowstone. The profusely illustrated, "reader friendly", and informative text is a fascinating exercise in specialized regional history and includes relevant federal highway legislation, as well as the creation of west coast and east coast extensions. An introduction, epilogue, and two appendices (Maps of the Yellowstone Trail, 1926 and Yellowstone Trail Road Conditions enhance this informative, meticulously presented and definitive work.

A wonderful "read!" Very well researched; suitable for both the old road enthusiast and the casual reader. Many photos and illustrations.

Includes the history as well as the details of early auto road development, and tells the tale of the Yellowstone Trail with excellent maps and period documents.

Made me eager to "hit the road!"
