Title: Highway history book with white cover from years ago
Post by: -- US 175 -- on February 26, 2020, 07:43:03 PM
I can't remember the title of it, but several copies of a book were made available years ago about US highway history.  I had a copy but it was stolen when I was burglarized years ago.  I'd like to find a replacement, but it's hard to internet search it without a title.  Thanks for any help.

"America's Highways 1776-1976," published by the US Department of Transportation / Federal Highway Administration.

I found an online copy here:

Hope this helps.

Now that looks like an interesting read, I hardly ever see anything that covers the wagon turnpike eras anymore.
