This book is a collection of photographs complete with informative captions captures the spirit of the Lincoln Highway. Called the “Main Street of America,” the highway was indeed a thing of beauty as well as the road of the future. The book chronicles the stretch of highway through western Indiana and eastern Illinois, and it is this part of the highway that contains the 1.5 miles of the “Ideal Section,” which was designed and built as a model for road construction. From the earliest photos of muddy tracks to the current pictures of a well built highway, readers will be introduced to the dreams of men who knew what the future needed and then on to the realization of those dreams. It’s all here - the pictures of road construction, the buildings that were erected by the highway, and end result, the Lincoln Highway. This book is must-read for anyone interested in this highway, but especially for those of us who live in this area.… (altro)
