The roadway system across the United States looked much different in 1936 than it looks today.

I said this yesterday and it remains so today. I am very interested to know exactly what right of way business Henry was working on 1936. That is going to require more research than what I can do from the comfort of my home.

My dad, who is now 90, says that his grandfather (Henry) spent the better part of three decades purchasing right of ways for roadways and parks systems in Kent County. When he was about the age of ten, my dad remembers going with his grandfather on right of way business. On that particular trip, Henry was acquiring land that would allow for the construction of Cascade Road.
