Journey the historic path from wagon ruts to blacktop highways across Nebraska.
For centuries, Nebraska's Platte River Valley has served as a natural passageway for the nation's travelers. The Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails guided intrepid settlers west. Soon, the Pony Express, roughly following those trails, provided the first direct mail service connecting the West Coast with east of the Mississippi River. These historic routes later evolved into the transcontinental railroad, the Lincoln Highway, and eventually modern-day Interstate 80. History buffs, road-trippers, and the generally curious alike can navigate the tracks that each era of travel left locally and nationally.
Blending vivid historical detail with memorable personal narratives, author Andrea M. Riley offers an enlightening journey through one of the country's most important transportation corridors.
