This biography of a road details the life of a 65-mile dirt trail that for six decades was a conduit allowing political, economic, social and cultural ideas to circulate into and within the early American West. Friend (history, U. of Central Florida) traces the development of the Maysville Road from its beginnings as a buffalo trace, through its role in populating and transforming the West, to its decline in regional and national affairs. The result is a microhistory of social and cultural change in the early American republic.
