Video on 1919 Military Convoy Over the Lincoln Highway Now Available

In 1919, the United States Army ran an experimental truck convoy across the United States from Mile Post 0 in Washington D.C. to San Francisco, mostly over the Lincoln Highway, to evaluate the feasibility of motorized transport. This was the first transcontinental motor transport convoy via the Lincoln Highway, and was observed by Lieutenant Colonel Dwight Eisenhower.

Now, the California Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association has National Archives footage of the convoy, with subtitles and military march music dubbed in, available on VHS, for $10.00.
