John Swartley wrote another one of his famous historical articles about Highway Projects.  If you ever travel on a highway, you should read this. John mentions a fellow who drove all the way across the U.S. in only 63 days at a cost of only $8,000 in 1903 and describes the highway numbering system.  Read all about it here:
