Download or read book Along Iowa's Historic Highway 20 written by Michael J. Till and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Highway 20 was designated a federal highway in 1926. For the first half of the 20th century, it was the most important east-west road across northern Iowa, extending from the Mississippi to the Missouri River.

Along Iowa's Historic Highway 20 celebrates such a trip, illustrated by more than 200 antique postcards that show the personality of the road: town and city scenes, rural vistas, rivers, bridges, and historic sites. Not to be forgotten are the tourist courts, hotels, diners, and gas stations that made travel possible.

Book Synopsis The Jefferson Highway by : Lyell D. Jr. Henry
Download or read book The Jefferson Highway written by Lyell D. Jr. Henry and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today American motorists can count on being able to drive to virtually any town or city in the continental United States on a hard surface. That was far from being true in the early twentieth century, when the automobile was new and railroads still dominated long-distance travel. Then, the roads confronting would-be motorists were not merely bad, they were abysmal, generally accounted to be the worst of those of all the industrialized nations. The plight of the rapidly rising numbers of early motorists soon spawned a “good roads” movement that included many efforts to build and pave long-distance, colorfully named auto trails across the length and breadth of the nation. Full of a can-do optimism, these early partisans of motoring sought to link together existing roads and then make them fit for automobile driving—blazing, marking, grading, draining, bridging, and paving them. The most famous of these named highways was the Lincoln Highway between New York City and San Francisco. By early 1916, a proposed counterpart coursing north and south from Winnipeg to New Orleans had also been laid out. Called the Jefferson Highway, it eventually followed several routes through Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The Jefferson Highway, the first book on this pioneering road, covers its origin, history, and significance, as well as its eventual fading from most memories following the replacement of names by numbers on long-distance highways after 1926. Saluting one of the most important of the early named highways on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, historian Lyell D. Henry Jr. contributes to the growing literature on the earliest days of road-building and long-distance motoring in the United States. For readers who might also want to drive the original route of the Jefferson Highway, three chapters trace that route through Iowa, pointing out many vintage features of the roadside along the way. The perfect book for a summer road trip!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Huebinger's Map and Guide for River to River Road: Three Hundred and Eighty Mile Dragged Highway Across Iowa From Council Bluffs to Davenport, Originated and Carried to Completion by the Des Moines Daily Capital The bottom dropped out of Iowa roads during the fall of 1909 as every Iowan remembers, and the Glidden tour was in sight for advertisement of the state for good or ill. This is why the work was undertaken. The River to River Road As sociation, formed as a part of the statewide plans formulated by delegates called together officially by Governor Carroll, undertook the achievement. With an execu tive committeeman in each of twelve counties in charge of the work in his county, things moved quickly. Grades were built up, wet places drained and hundreds of drags put in operation. This is how the work was carried out. Moreover, the same methods and the same organization are keeping the highway in its new con dition, and, in fact, bettering it, from day to day.
