Take the Atlantic road north through thirty communities and five states.

U.S. Route 13 follows one of the East Coast's most varied highways from the Cape Fear Plain of North Carolina to the Delaware River. Along the way, the road passes courthouse squares, railroad towns, ferry landings, working waterfronts, farming communities, and neighborhoods shaped by generations of travel and trade.

Rather than treating the highway as a line between famous destinations, Mark Bureau pauses in the smaller places that give the route its character. Each chapter introduces a community through its local history, built environment, and relationship to the road. Together, the chapters trace how older paths, bridges, ferries, railroads, and modern highways connected the Atlantic coastal plain with the towns of the Delmarva Peninsula and the Delaware Valley.

Illustrated throughout, U.S. Route 13 is a road-history journey for readers who enjoy American highways, small-town stories, regional history, and the overlooked places between the better-known stops.
