  • A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska
    A STORY OF HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT IN NEBRASKA By George E. Koster Published by the Department of Roads Lincoln, Nebraska Revised 1997 BACKGROUND "A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska" (Revised 1997) is an updated and expanded version of "A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska" (1986), the latter being published by the Department of Roads in December of that year. The text is a compilation of information taken from a myriad of sources and leans heavily on the author's judgement and experience. And, since the entire undertaking was accomplished on a part-time basis, footnotes were omitted for simplicity of publication. In instances where the author may have used brief passages written by another, without using quotation marks or giving that person proper credit, forgiveness is requested. The purpose of the text is not for personal acievement, literary merit, or financial gain. Rather, it is for purposes of history, education, and public information about the development of highways in Nebraska. THE AUTHOR George E. "Dutch" Koster, a fourth-generation Nebraskan and former Secretary to the State Highway Commission (1972-1975), was assigned to the Project Development Division at the Department of Roads headquarters in Lincoln. He was the author of the "Research Study on Corridor Preservation" (1973), "History of the Nebraska State Highway Commission" (1974, 1986, and 1992), "A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska" (1986), "A History of the Principal Executives of the State Highway Department" (1995), and "A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska" (Revised 1997). He passed away August 29, 1999, after a lengthy illness. i CONTENTS Chapter Page Preface...................................................................................

  • THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F
    THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F. Weingroff The Lincoln Highway Association, the National Old Trails Road Association, and other groups with an interest in California tourism based a portion of their early promotion on the assumption that long-distance highway traffic would increase significantly in 1915 as motorists headed to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Carl Fisher had cited the Panama-Pacific Exposition in September 1912, when he told his automobile industry associates in Indianapolis about his plan for a coast-to-coast rock highway from New York City to San Francisco. With the $10 million he expected to raise from the industry, he planned to have the new road, soon to be named the Lincoln Highway, ready for travel so “a corps of 25,000 automobiles can be taken over this road to the opening of the Exposition in San Francisco either in May or June, 1915.” The proposal was an ambitious idea that, with the help of an impressive public relations initiative, captured the public’s imagination. As Fisher learned within a year, however, it was also an impossible task. He would not be able to raise $10 million from his auto industry associates or from any other source. Moreover, that amount would not have been enough. And if he had raised that amount, he did not have any means of using it to improve the roads that were connected to become the Lincoln Highway—much less to do so by May 1915.
