Synopsis

This book explores the history of one of Iowa's significant historical landmarks - the Old Military Road. Built to connect Dubuque with Iowa City, the Old Military Road was initially used by soldiers but was soon adopted by settlers traveling to Iowa City, which was the new capital of the territory. The author leads the reader on a historical exploration, tracing not only the path of the road but also the development of the settlements that grew alongside it, giving the reader a glimpse into the life and culture of these early communities. Originally planned to facilitate military movement in case of conflict with remaining Native American populations, the Old Military Road became a vital artery for pioneers, opening up the territory and facilitating the growth and expansion of Iowa.
