In this episode I explore the broad history of the early transportation in the unsettled territory starting with the Native Americans on the rivers, from the arrival of the French moving forward through Indian Trails, territorial roads, courduroy roads, plank roads and railroads. I use a book entitled 'Right on Track: A History of the Railroads in Eaton County, Michigan' as a guide for this journey, along with other research.
