Summary
Tom Bodett hosts this series on the trails that extended America's frontiers. Follow in the footsteps and wagon ruts of rugged pioneers, dauntless homesteaders, reclusive mountain men and stop-at-nothing gold hunters as they explore, settle, and work the new land.
The Old Post Road: Early trails and roads crossed mile after untamed mile of deep wilderness to connect the far-flung towns and settlements of Colonial America, whose isolated residents depended on them as lifelines. The Old Post Road performed just such a vital role as the first major land route linking 17th century Manhattan with Boston.
