TRUCKING AMERICA: The Life Line Of Our Country by Jack Davis
For Jack Davis, his connection with transporting begins with his Great Grandfather, Colonel John Taylor. The Colonel began moving military artillery and supplies during the Civil War. Colonel Taylor was married to a Native American woman who was the daughter of one of the chiefs from a tribe in the Carolina area. They used oxen and wagons to move the family to Canada and then to St. Joe, Missouri, to be with the second wagon train going west to the Oregon territory. Jack gives readers not only a unique perspective on his family history, but also an insider look at the trucking industry.
