THE BRISTOLTO-
LEXINGTON HIGHWAY

ASNCAf ANhhsf OohhoAy u ~
Colonial days, when American
civilization was young, the grea
movement westward was across
the Blue Ridge and thence west.
ward along the Virginia Tennes
see boundary, through Gum Der
land Gap into Kentucky. 1t wa,
this route that Isaac Shelby, the
first governor Cf Kentucky, and
Daniel Boone, the. pioneer hunt.
err, travelled when they moved
westward from "the Watauga
Settlement" The Tennessee.
Virginia boundary line took the
same direction, the natural in
clination being to reach the gap
1.-THE Cum berland range of noun
tsins. This is still the most di
rect route from the Southeast in
to Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and a modern stone high
way over this old Wilderness
Route is just as essential to
present-day conditions, with null
tiplying automobiles, as was the
old Wilderness Road" to the
hardy pioneers.
Next in Importance to the
Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio
Railway, which courses the
mountains on direct north and
south line. and which is soon to-
give Kentucky, Ohio. Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri and the great
lake region a quick route to the
far south, is the proposed Bristol
to-Lexington { Ky highway. Such
a highway, leading along the Nir-
glnia- Tennessee border and
through Cumberland Gap, will
bring not only Lexington, but
Louisville, Cincinnati and other
cities in that direction, in closer
touch with the south and east, !
and will be much sought route |
by automobile tourists. This |
movement, coupled with a move
ment now being inaugurated, to
make Bristol the northern ter
minus of the Crest of the Blue
Ridge Highway" means that |
travel from the west this way
over the new and direct route
Will find il convenient TO speed
southwark from here along the
crest of the Blue Ridge into the
South Atlantic states. This
Crest of the Blue Ridge road can
be brought into Bristol by the
building of only ffty-three miles
OF highway through the counties
of Watauga, in North Carolina,
and johnson and Sullivan, in
Tennessee. johnson and Sulli--
van counties have already grad
ed a portion Of this road, and
steps are now being taken look
ing to the completion of the
road in these counties. The
course Of these two roads leads
through territory that was made
memorable by the American
revolution. Kings Mountain,
where Gen. Isaac Shelby and
John Sewer struck great blow
for American independence,
when they, with a body of hardy
backwoodsmen, routed Ferguson
and his men. thus winning in a
contest that marked the turning
point in the revolution, is ada
cent TO the Crest of the Blue
Ridge Highway" With the
building of these roads, the peo-
pie of Kentucky, Ohio and Ind
lana will have a direct autorno-
bile route to the scenes made
memorable by the struggles of
the pioneers, who blazed the way
for the march Of civilization west
ward in this country. The route
will be noted also for it's scenic
beauty, as it traverses the Cum
berland and Appalachian ranges,
passing over that portion of the
mountain where the Virginia and
and Southwestern Railway passes

will be an accomplished fact wit
in the next two or three years.
Many persons laughed at tn,
impracticability of constructing
the Memphis-to- Bristol highwa!
across Tennessee, but that roaC
is now about hree-fourths com
pleted. while the same spirit thai
prompted it, has aroused the Vir
ginians to the task of construct,
lug q similar highway from Bris-
tol across the Old Dominion tC
the national capital. The same
people are also constructing a
highway from Bristol to Bluefield
w. Va, and the good road en-
thusiasts assert that this is the
beginning Of what is destined to
be the Bristol-to- Pittsburg high
way.
Leaving Bristol, the Bristol-to
Lexington highway runs nine
miles through Washington Coun-
ty, Virginia, which link has just
been surveyed by the state high
way engineer. The funds to
build this link have been provid.
ed by bond issue and private sub.
scriptions. Scott County adjoins
Washington. This county has
voted bonds for the building of
its link of the new highway, and
work is to be commenced in the
spring. Lee County, which adj
joins Scott on the west, has al
ready constructed nearly fifty
miles of the new highway. This
means that the Nirginians have
provided for - of its 95 miles of
the Bristol-to Lexington high
way. extending to Cum berland
Gap.
From Cumberland Gap, Bell
County, Kentucky, has construct .
ed a macadam road to Middles- t
boro, but from that town to Crab
Orchard. KY, a distance of % I
miles, the highway has not been
provided for. At Crab Orchard
the highway route connects with
the Central Kentucky system of
turnpikes, over which Lexington
and other Kentucky towns may
be reached.
The Bristol-tO. Lexington High
way Association will take up
with the county officials and with
others in Kentucky the matter
Of pushing this undertaking to
completion. 1t is believed, judg-
ing from information recently
concerning road legis-
latlon in Kentucky, that that {
state will soon be in a position .
TO enter more actively into the .
work of road construction. The
building of the link from Mid
1lesboro to Grab Orchard would
be notable triumph, since 1t {
would be the means of complet- ,
ing this highway direct from the :
into Kentucky and
Ohio.
1t is doubtful if Kentucky
could enter upon another single {
enterprise that would hold more {
Of significance to the people of
that state than that of building
the necessary links to make
highway, extending
from Lexington to Bristol. Not
only would kentucklanS then
have direct route over the Blue
Ridge to the South Atlantic
States, but a similar route east
ward to Richmond, Norfork and
Washington; for the Bristol-to-
Washington highway will be
compile ted before it will be posi-
BILE to construct the links to COM
plete the Bristol.to-Lexington
road,
For a direct route between
Kentucky and the Middle West (
States, the Bristol to- Lexington
is absolutely essential,
