Old Chicago Road: US-12 from Detroit to Chicago (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531651695)

With origins dating back to the end of the last ice age, the road known as Michigan Avenue was most familiar to early settlers as the "Old Sauk Trail." Old Chicago Road: US-12 from Detroit to Chicago traces one of America's oldest and most famous routes--from its eastern origin at the very center of Detroit to its western terminus on the north side of Chicago. Vintage views, many of which have never before been published, explore the cities, towns, and villages along its path. While it has been known by many names throughout its history, the road continues to weave a unique American story in its present form as modern-day thoroughfare US-12.
