Convoy Across the US

Some great pics of the 1919 Convoy of military vehicles across the U.S.



Included in the convoy was one dashing Lt. Col. Eisenhower (Only 4 years out of West Point)

Typical government road construction project; more guys standing around and just a few doing any work!

Ah the old Lincoln Highway where people got their kicks before Route 66. The brainchild of the Indianapolis Speedway founder Carl Fisher and a couple of automobile executives. For the most part the highway was a series of privately funded roads that were linked together.
