But how in the world can a man get a kick out of 46 or 55 or 33 or 21? — Lexington (Ky.) Herald, ca. 1927 Two years ago my wife and I completed a 10-day road trip along Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. After the trip was completed I wrote a series newsletter articles about our trip and the history and significance of Route 66. (To access a complete list of the articles please click here) Route 66 runs some 2,248 miles from Chicago to its terminus on Santa Monica Pier in California. The route has been glamourized in books, films, TV shows and song. It was John Steinbeck who gave Route 66 the name “The Mother Road” in his book the Grapes of Wrath, a name that has lasted to this day. In every state Route 66 passes through there are museums sponsored by state Route 66 associations along with numerous stores, restaurants and cafes selling logoed souvenirs.

  • Five Years of Prohibition and Its Results, North American Review
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Destruction of an illegal still, Miami, Florida, 1925 Anti-Prohibition campaign, Wilmington, Delaware, ca. 1930 Florida State Archives Hagley Museum __Should Prohibition Be Repealed?__ “Five Years of Prohibition and Its Results,” The North American Review June-July-August 1925 & September-October-November 1925 EXCERPTS * After decades of vehement debate, the “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition commenced on January 17, 1920, one year after the Eight- eenth Amendment had been ratified by the states. The debate did not end at that point, of course; it switched to the issues of efficacy, unforeseen consequences, popular support, and repeal. In 1925 the North American Review invited essays on Prohibition—its success or failure—from leaders in the law, government, public health, business and labor, education, and the church. Excerpts from the twenty-one essays are presented here; the pro-repeal arguments appearing first, as they were in the Review. What factors were central in the debate five years into Prohibition? What later factors entered the debate, especially in the 1928 presidential campaign? [Images added.] Samuel H. Church was president of the Carnegie Institute. “‘the greatest mistake in the world’” His essay was titled “The Paradise of the Ostrich.” Finding myself seated one night at dinner beside a United States Judge who possesses one of the greatest judicial minds that our country has produced in this generation, I asked him what he thought of Prohibition. “Regardless of what your feelings may be concerning the use of liquor,” he replied,” the American people made the greatest mistake in the world when they inserted the statute itself in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

  • Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway Power Point
    NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY America’s Main Street 1 NEBRASKA LINCOLN HIGHWAY HISTORIC BYWAY The Nebraska Lincoln Highway Historic Byway is one of the nine designated Byways in Nebraska. By state statute, it is Highway 30 across Nebraska. 2 HISTORIC LINCOLN HIGHWAY The official Lincoln Highway route through Nebraska is comprised of the original 1913 route and many later realignments. The historic Lincoln Highway through Nebraska traverses nearly 450 miles, including the 1913 route a major realignment in 1928‐30, as bridges and better roads made a straighter (and shorter) road possible. Since 1928, many sections of US 30 have been re‐aligned with new bypasses. Nationally, today’s US 30 aligns with less than 25% of the original 1913‐28 Lincoln Highway routes. However, through Nebraska, much of the route remains unchanged, and much of the original route is drivable. 3 CARL G. FISHER Carl G. Fisher, shown here as a young man, was an early automobile enthusiast, and the builder of the Indianapolis Speedway. He began actively promoting his dream, a transcontinental highway, in 1912. By July, 1913, Fisher and his associates settled on the name, “Lincoln Highway”. On July 1, 1913, the same day the Lincoln Highway Association was established at its headquarters in Detroit, the “Trail-Blazer” tour set out on a 34 day trek to San Francisco. The Lincoln Highway was inspired by the Good Roads Movement, which was begun in the 1880’s by bicycle enthusiasts. At the turn of the century, automobiles were overtaking bicycles in popularity, and the Good Roads Movement turned to promoting cross country routes.
