So many American's like their history manufactured and packaged to suit their world view. They prefer the history they injest to be highly palatable and easily digested, an entree meant to reassure themselves of their own exceptionalism.

Highway to History is the recorded record of their attemot to have interesting and challenging conversations about America's past, present and future. Step on in our 1978 GMC Kingsley motorhome and listen up!
