A self-proclaimed rut nut prone to ground-truth his research, Gary L. Pinkerton brings considerable historical and geoarchaeological skills to bear in his in-depth analysis of an often-overlooked early route to Texas. This is, at one level, a detailed biography of a road, but in focusing on a line through the Texas prairies and woodlands that predated formal Anglo-American colonization of the area, the author also makes significant, defining connections that give the reader much more to consider.-Southwestern Historical QuarterlyPinkertons passion is contagious, and his enthusiasm will strike a chord with lay readers as well as scholars of early Texas history.-Central Texas Studies
