One Man's Work for Good Roads in Lancaster County
Dr Donald McCaskey pioneered road dragging in East Lampeter township Lancaster County using the King drag to improve dirt roads. He financed local labor at low pay to drag roads, install corrugated iron culverts and remove obstructions, yielding roads described as among the best and well drained, at an annual maintenance cost around $40 per mile.
