The Old States - Back East

We were never sure that we would move eastward beyond the Mississippi River in our writings on Legends of America. Since its inception in 2003, we have dedicated ourselves to the American West. However, as we delve deeper into American History on topics ranging from Native Americans to the American Revolution, and the Civil War, we find legends, people, and historic destinations that just beg to be added.

 

So, Welcome to the "The Old States." In Old West Slang, that's what the eastern states of our nation were called.

 

You'll see just a smattering of stories to begin with, most of which relate to Early American History or ghostly legends submitted by readers. However, stay tuned as we gradually add more content to our ever expanding website.

 

In the meantime, enjoy your travels back east and be sure to send any suggestions you have along the way.

Illinois - Traveling the Trails of Lincoln

Illinois already has a page of its own and several stories, even though it's east of the Mississippi River. This is because one of America's most famous highways -- Route 66 -- begins in The Land of Lincoln, before continuing westward through seven states to the Pacific Ocean.
