The history of the Lincoln Highway is chronicled from conception to completion.
Quick Summary
Before interstates existed, one dreamer wanted to connect New York to San Francisco with a ribbon of road, and this book tells how the Lincoln Highway went from impossible idea to America's first cross-country route. Readers will race through the story of how ordinary people, tough drivers, and tiny towns transformed dirt paths into the famous highway that launched Route 66 and changed how Americans traveled forever. If your kid loves the adventure and history of "The Great Brain" or the road trip excitement of "The Magic Tree House" series, they'll zoom into this true story of the road that started it all. Perfect for kids ages 9 to 13 who enjoy history, geography, and stories about big dreams becoming real.
