Today we don't think much of hoping on an interstate to zip from one location to the next. But a century ago, national highways were...

Retired Billings teacher Marlene Saunders details the evolution of the Yellowstone Trail, an important early byway started in South Dakota in 1911 that became a significant route between the East and West Coasts. The road went through Montana, and specifically through Billings, where official Yellowstone Trail signs have been installed to mark the trail.

The markers for this early interstate highway can still be seen today.

Montana’s first highways were built by men from the Montana State Prison, and much of their work was concentrated on one of the country’s first interstate highways, the Yellowstone Trail. Montana Department of Transportation historian Jon Axline tells the story of prison labor on the Yellowstone Trail in Park County, one of the last places where you can see the efforts of Montana’s first highwaymen

This week on Hemmings Motor News Radio, I am joined by Michael Milne who is the author of the book, "Roadster Guide to America's Classic Car Museums". Next up, I talk with carb expert and owner of Automotion Larry Fulton about the effects of Ehtanol on carbs and fuel systems. We close out this episode with Jim Donnelly, from a previous episode, talking about the Yellowstone Trail. Give us a listen and email us at radio@hemmings.com.

Historically, Yellowstone’s trail system played a vital role in the development of the park and visitors’ experiences therein. Kerri Keller Clement—a high school history teacher, avid backcountry hiker, and Montana State University graduate student—investigates these trails and trail blazes within a spatial and cartographic framework.

This week on Hemmings Motor News we will talk with Lake Speed Jr. Certified Lubrication Specialist from Driven Racing Oil about Ehtanol and its effect on classic and vintage cars .We then carry on with the Ehtanol conversation with long time carb rebuilding expert and owner of AUTOMOTION Larry Fulton. And just in time for summer we talk with Senior Editor Jim Donnelly about the Yellowstone Trail.

During the last 5 years we have interviewed dozens of people behind the articles in our American Road Magazine but this time the subject has to do with one of our regular columns: On the Yellowstone Trail. A delight Wisconsin couple, John and Ann Ridge, specialize in the history of the Yellowstone Trail. Their story was so fascinating that we decided to keep the whole thing but to divide it into three parts to make it easier to listen to. In this first of our three parts series on the Yellowstone Trail, John and Ann take us through the unique history of one of America’s great transcontinental highways that developed in the early 1900’s. It is a fascinating story that began in the middle of the country and worked its way west and then east. The history of the Yellowstone Trail is interwoven with the development of interconnecting roads in the United States spurred on by a marvelous new machine…the personal car.

Each issue of American Road Magazine has a regular column called On the Yellowstone Trail dedicated to the people and places along this historic highway. The idea for this northernmost of America’s transcontinental highways actually began 100 years ago in the wheat fields of the Midwest. So it’s fitting that one of the centennial parties for the Yellowstone Trail would take place Spring 2012 in northwest Wisconsin. May 11-13th Hudson, Wisconsin on the beautiful St. Croix River will kick off the 100th birthday party with Yellowstone Trail Heritage Days. Andrea Jorgensen of the Hudson Convention and Visitors Bureau has all the details for our American Road listeners.
