Publisher Description: A road trip through history and the heart of the first frontier "Perrier is a consummate tour guide, making the readers know they are directed by an authority. Above all she engages the reader in the landscape's many dimensions--historical, geographic, and environmental. One is well advised to travel I-81 with Perrier's book in hand."--Keith Schulle, author of Motoring: The Highway Experience in America From its northernmost point just south of the U.S.-Canadian border, in Wellesley Island, New York, through the Appalachians to its southernmost point in Dandridge, Tennessee, Interstate 81 links the Northeast with the non-Atlantic South. One of the major routes of the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, the I-81 corridor was a much-traveled route, known as the "Great Warriors Trace," for centuries even before the invention of the automobile.
