Drive In The Wagon Tracks Of The Pioneers Of The American West In Driving The California Trail

Lyn Wilkerson has Brought the Covered Wagon History of the Old American West to Anyone Behind the Wheel of an Automobile with Driving the California Trail at Lulu.com.

Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) May 29, 2006 -- Lyn Wilkerson continues his mission to bring American history to the leisure traveler in his third publication, Driving the California Trail, in conjunction with Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Driving the California Trail is the first in what will become a series of themed guidebooks based on early routes of travel, including the Oregon Trail, the Butterfield Overland Stage, the Dixie Highway, and the National Road.

Driving the California Trail is an easy-to-navigate historic travel guide which follows wagon trails used by the pioneers of the American Old West. Based on his earlier book, American Trails Revisited, this excerpt adds over 50 maps to help even the most novice explorer to find the landmarks of those who have preceded them.

Lyn Wilkerson began his quest to bring the exploration of American history back to the forefront of American automobile travel with Roads Less Traveled, a guide to the non-interstate byways of the Southeastern U.S. in 2000. In 2003, he released American Trails Revisited, which provided a more themed approach to the historic guide by following the wagon tracks of the Oregon, California, and Santa Fe Trails, among others. Driving the California Trail continues Lyn’s development of the convenient historic guidebook by adding simple but functional maps and by reducing the subject matter to a more manageable size for a driver or navigator to quickly access.

“Much of our fascinating history and personal heritage is overlooked on the limited-access expressways which crisscross the U.S.,” said Lyn Wilkerson. “Historic sites and landmarks along the road side are what make the ‘getting there’ part of a day trip or summer vacation much more interesting and educational.”
