Trails & Traces partners the deft writing of Gary Marx with
vivid photography by Daniel Overturf to illuminate ever evolving
patterns of travel and settlement. Taking the reader on a journey
down early buffalo traces and Native American trails, this book
shows how these paths evolved into wagon roads and paved highways.
Marx and Overturf explore historic routes ranging from Route 66 to
the Underground Railroad, all the way back to post-Ice Age animal
migration trails followed by Paleo-Indian people. The authors also
examine how rivers, canals, and railroads spurred the rapid rise of
Illinois as a modern state. In this book, Marx and Overturf bring
history into the present by including over forty photographic
portraits and written profiles of individuals who live along these
routes today. Many of the people you will meet on these pages work
to preserve and honor the history of these passages. Others
profiled here embody the spirit of the old roads and provide a
vivid link between past and present. Through this journey, we
discover that we've all been traveling the same road all along.
