Book Description
Slow Travels-Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia explores these three states on their major U.S. Highways, providing historical text for sites and landmarks, much of which is based on the American Guides of the 1930's and 1940's. In Delaware, this guide follows U.S. Highway 13 from the Pennsylvania State Line, through Wilmington and Dover, to the Maryland Line. In Maryland, U.S. Highways 40 and 50 travel the state east to west, including the Eastern Shore from Ocean City and the cities of Annapolis and Baltimore. Virginia is traveled by U.S. Highways 11, 15, and 17 north to south (encompassing the eastern, central, and western sections of the state) and U.S. Highways 50 and 60 east to west. Along the way, the history of the Shenandoah Valley, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Alexandria, and many key points in the American Civil War unfold. Reference maps are included for each route and GPS Coordinates are listed for all historic sites.
