A great read!Apr 19, 2010
In researching my genealogy, I wondered often about the location and perils of the Old Federal Road. This book has answered my questions and done so in a way that was most entertaining.

This book is an excellent resource for any who are studying the American frontier. I am currently using this book as a resource for my Master's thesis.

 History of Federal Road through Georgia to AlabamaMar 08, 2007
I found the narrative of this book very enlightening. The mind's eye could
see the descriptions of land and waterway problems of our ancestors. I recommend it for the historical value and the referenced materials. Enjoyed the comments made by the travellers on the roads and the inns in which they stopped.
Sadly, the maps were not of a very good quality. Too small and required a magnifying glass to read the numbers along the trails pictures.
Hopefully the next edition of the book will have enhanced maps of the roads and perhaps also an added overlay map with the counties through which the road ran for a better perspective of the route the roads took.

THE FEDERAL ROADApr 12, 2002
Most enlightening. I was able to track my ancestors as they traveled thru Georgia and Alabama. With the aid of a good map, one can pinpoint their exact route. Highly recommend for anyone doing research on their family that settled in Georgia or Alabama.
