Ohio River Road Trip: Tracing the Country's Western Movement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781039145726)

In 2018, author and historian Randall P. Royka set out with his wife to retrace the westward movement of pioneers along the Ohio River after American Independence. Part history, part travelogue, Ohio River Road Trip shares on-the-ground experience alongside historical context, told in engaging, readable prose.

Royka interweaves his modern-day trip with the memoirs of a nineteenth century Frenchman who covered much of the same ground, imagined as a whimsical conversation across the centuries. It is a wondrous book about the joy of discovery, the freedom in travel, and the lessons to be learned from those that have walked before us. Complete with travel itinerary and maps, this book will appeal to anyone interested in American history and travel in the American Heartland.
