The path Daniel Boone and his axemen blazed through the Cumberland Gap in 1775 became the main route for the families pouring into Kentucky. Hulbert traces its first explorers, its annals during the Revolution and its traffic of pioneers, quoting freely from the misspelled, snowbound diaries of the people who walked it.
A readable volume of Hulbert’s Historic Highways of America, valuable for its first-hand frontier voices. Download the free EPUB.
