The Old National Road chronicles the history of America’s first federally funded highway, a vital artery for westward expansion in the 19th century. Archer Butler Hulbert vividly recounts the road’s construction, its impact on commerce and settlement, and the colorful stories of travelers, pioneers, and stagecoaches that traversed its path. From its inception in the early 1800s to its decline with the rise of railroads, the National Road played a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s identity and connecting the East Coast to the burgeoning West. Hulbert’s engaging narrative brings to life the era of wagon trains, bustling taverns, and the indomitable spirit of a nation on the move. A captivating journey through American history, 'The Old National Road' remains a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic route.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
