In 1919, the United States Army organized a road trip across the United States that few people know about today. Several hundred soldiers, including a young Dwight Eisenhower, took trucks, cars, motorcycles, and a custom-built wrecker called the "Militor" from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. The convoy crossed 14 states during their 62-day journey across the Lincoln Highway. Their route brought them across southern Wyoming. Join Jeremy and John as they explore this little-known road trip from the dawn of the motor age.
