Here’s the lowdown on the two volumes:
“American Migration Routes Part I – Indian Paths, Post Roads & Wagon Roads” by William Dollarhide, dives deep into the migration routes your ancestors might have taken between 1630 and 1869 inside the United States. The journey can be traced and even recreated, be it on an actual road trip or virtually, with this detailed guidebook. The book is enriched with 88 maps and 77 routes, giving life to seven unique chapters, each detailing a different era of American transportation history. This book not only provides informative maps but also a 12-page guide to enhance your understanding of migration routes. This guide comes with trip ideas, notes, and links to online historical references.
The counterpart, “American Migration Routes: Part II – Stagecoach, Steamboat, Canal & Early Railroad Routes”, penned by the same author, lays out the major travel paths in the 1840s. Leveraging Henry S. Tanner’s detailed guide to the ‘1840 American Traveller’, this volume incorporates modern highway maps to trace historic routes and provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to repeating these journeys today. Moreover, this book includes current county boundary maps sourced from the USGS Base Map of the U.S., so researchers and genealogists can uncover their ancestry’s recorded events.
Each book costs $39.95 in paperback format, available from FamilyRootsPublishing.net, Biblio, Amazon and Heritage Books. You may also opt for the Paperback/eBook Bundle, available at FamilyRootsPublishing.net and Biblio, priced at $49.95. At FamilyRootsPublishing.net, the PDF eBook version can be instantly downloaded or emailed to you from Biblio, generally in less than 24 hours.
This valuable guide will serve as an important tool for researchers, shedding light on migration paths and making sense of census records, thereby setting new standards for genealogical research.
