CantonRep.com, July 31 contained the following letter:
With great interest, I read the article “Book traces the nation’s first coast-to-coast route” (July 23). My parents, Moses and Lydia Gingerich, with five children, made the trip in 1921 with a remodeled 1915 Model T truck on the graveled Lincoln Highway, Route 30, leaving from Bucklin, Kan., in Ford County near Dodge City. How often I would sit and listen to the story of their eight-day trip to Hartville, Ohio, patching tubes, driving on gravel roads and living in a remodeled small pick up truck. My Amish family, too poor to afford a train ticket, was advised to buy the pickup and resell it in Ohio. Precious memories for me – I was born in 1924.
