American Road | Volume 8 No. 3
The Autumn 2010 issue of American Road® magazine travels roads named for US presidents—with an eye toward examining the lives of the men behind the high office. The first feature candidate is "Buchanan Highway." Was James Buchanan the worst US president in history? Don’t make that suggestion to citizens along the Buchanan Trail, that 1927 auto route running from Mount Union, Pennsylvania, to Emmitsburg, Maryland. One will earn oneself four-score-and-seven words of rebuttal.
"Teddy’s Wild Ride" traces the gritty Adirondack route followed by soon-to-be-president Teddy Roosevelt, upon that dreary 1901 midnight when he learned of President McKinley's imminent demise. "Hoover Highway" ambles through Iowa, recalling the man who failed to pluck the nation from the Great Depression but later found his soul serving as the Great Humanitarian. Finally, "Jefferson: The Lost State" recalls that time in 1941 when residents of southern Oregon and northern California set their sights on secession. They hoped to form a forty-ninth state named for the author of the Declaration of Independence.
American Road® staff hope one enjoys their trip through the White House of these pages. Thank-you for a vote of support.
