Ride along on a monumental undertaking that literally straightened the curves and flattened the hills in this previously untold story of the Engineers, Visionaries and Trailblazers responsible for creating the modern Interstate Highway System. Both those who prefer to explore the slower-paced back roads, seeking to discover the rustic charm of still-existing small towns along the way, and travelers who yearn for the speed and efficiency promised by the continuous mileage of the interconnected modern Interstate, will be fascinated by the dreams, discoveries, protests and politics that created and define our modern roadways, dually changing the landscape and mindset of our nation and traveling populace. By Earl Swift. Hardbound, 6.25"×9.25",
