Synopsis "The Interstate Highway System"

In 1919, future president Dwight D. Eisenhower was part of a U.S. Army expedition driving trucks and tanks from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco, California. Poor roads, broken bridges, and natural obstacles hindered the 3,200-mile trip. Eisenhower was left with a feeling that the United States needed something to tie it together. The result was the U.S. Interstate Highway System. Readers will be amazed to learn the colorful history of America's interstate highways, complete with stunning full-color photographs, primary sources, and helpful diagrams. This volume celebrates the ingenuity and determination of the American people who worked together to create a modern system of transportation.
