Roadside Survivors: Historic Milestones on the old Turnpikes and the Post Roads of the Northeast
Roadside Survivors: Historic Milestones on the old Turnpikes and the Post Roads of the Northeast
The over 200 color photographs in David Leroy's new book ROADSIDE SURVIVORS, make the beauty and uniqueness of historic milestones come alive. These images present those precursors of today's road signs tenacious enough to have survived the elements since the Turnpike Era of the early 1800s. This document carefully records the location of over 400 of the milestones that remain in the Northeastern US. This landmark compilation creates a document whose value can be appreciated considering that each year a number of these historic gems disappear and are lost forever.
