Before there was an Interstate 40, before Route 66 was built, Americans took the Santa Fe Trail to New Mexico. The Wichita Eagle's Beccy Tanner weaves history and a man's dream to own a piece of the storied trail into a riveting article--one of the best I've read in some time.
This is the kind of work the mainstream media should be producing on a regular basis.
