S. highway system began with an exploratory, cross-country ride led by 28-year-old Army lieutenant colonel Dwight Eisenhower. This is the story of that coast-to-coast journey and how the dream of connecting America with roads began . . . The 1919 Transcontinental Motor Convoy of eighty-one trucks and other military vehicles traveled more than 3,000 precarious miles along the most famous road of the day, the Lincoln Highway, which ran between New York City and San Francisco.

It was an experience Eisenhower would never forget"--Inside jacket flap.
