About the book
The Cumberland Road (also known as the National Road) was the first highway built entirely on the costs of the federal funds. It started in Cumberland, Maryland, and ran to Vandalia, Illinois. The road was built between 1811 and 1839. This book tells the whole story behind this road: the politics of creating the road, its building, and everyday life on and along the road.
