Lincoln Highway Route Battle Overland Trail Debate
A published exchange between A. R. Pardington of the Lincoln Highway and Wm. Glasman of the Ogden Standard weighs the north Overland trail against the south Lincoln Highway route from Evanston to Reno. Pardington defends the Utah route’s finances and supporters, while Glasman argues the Overland trail offers a safer, shorter, better-supplied path with strong Blue Book endorsements and urges a reexamination of the route choice. The debate highlights local Utah interest in directing transcontinental auto travel.
