| Annotation |
A series of Indian paths linked by colonists into an overland route between Boston and New York, the Boston Post Road has been carrying not only travelers for centuries, but also the march of American history--from George Washington's first presidential tour to P.T. Barnum's elephants to the Super Bowl victorious New England Patriots. This fascinating volume is written with a historian's eye for detail and a journalist's flair for storytelling. For high school and adult readers.
