Captain John Mullan is one of the unsung heroes of the American Northwest. He has 42 markers, including 12 statues, 12 stone or pyramid monuments, 12 road signs, and 6 historical markers scattered from eastern Washington to central Montana, for explorations and road construction in 1853 to 1862, all by horseback. No other man has as much historical recognition for what had been accomplished in the great Northwest of America. Americans owe their ability to see this beautiful corner of the country to John Mullan, who forged the way from the Columbia River in Oregon to the plains of eastern Montana as highways and Interstate follows his road building route.
About the author:
Stewart Nash has over 40 years of experience as a professional land surveyor. He has worked and traveled over the same routes that Mullan has even visited some of his encampments. This experience offers a unique perspective into the work of John Mullan, the first of his predecessors in the American northwest
