The Lincoln Highway: California

Gregory M. Franzwa

The sixth and final volume of the western state-by-state Lincoln Highway series is now in print. The 211-page deluxe hardcover, with 120 photos and 128 full-page maps, covers all four legs of the Lincoln Highway, 1913-1928. The text portion gives a complete history of the road, including a driving-hiking guide.

The northern route starts just west of Verdi, Nev., loops over the Dog Valley Road and on over Donner Pass—then down the slope to Sacramento. The main road extends southwest of the capital, through Stockton and Oakland, then across the bay to the Western Terminus at San Francisco.

The southern road extends from the south shore of Lake Tahoe to Sacramento. The 1928 version proceeds southwest from Sacramento through Vacaville, Fairfield, Vallejo, and on to Berkeley.
