## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vivid detail about life along the great wagon road
*by F***R on August 4, 2010*

After researching my family tree, I found it interesting that for several branches generation after generation were going from Ireland to Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, then strangely up to Indiana and Illinois. Other branches of my family tree took the National Road west, but the Great Wagon Road is an interesting story for the development of the early eastern United States. It was a road "worn down in earlier ages by buffalo." Later after the extinction of the eastern buffalo it was "the ancient Warrior's Path...used by Iroquois tribesmen of the north to come south and trade or make war in [what later would become] Virginia and the Carolinas."While much has been written about the Scots-Irish, this book includes other Protestant migrants such as the German, Moravian, Palatine, and Quakers. The book also describes the various Protestant preachers such as Francis Asbury and Peter Muhlenberg that so affected the settlers, broadly cast the seeds of religious freedom and anti-slavery. Many of those clans who migrated to North Carolina, moved onto Tennessee and Kentucky only to find that they could not compete economically with slaveholders and moved north to the free labor states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. There they met other branches who generally followed the National Road west from Philadelphia.The book is full of details that give the reader clear pictures of what life was like living along the great wagon road and various branches west. I recommend the book for those wanting an in-depth image of what their ancestors did to survive and make a life for themselves in this part of the country.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting book, arrived as described.
*by M***H on August 23, 2024*

I haven’t finished the book yet but the history of the road and the people who traveled it is good reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good historical book
*by K***R on December 18, 2023*

From living two decades in Winchester, VA, the book was of interest. I was surprised by the history of Rt. 11 through the Shenandoah Valley. The book was both informative and entertaining.
