No matter which of its many names you choose to use, it earned them by taking the lives of travelers without mercy. Even before Columbus discovered America, this passage across baron desert lands was luring travelers into its clutches and never letting go. Although mankind has long since developed the means to boldly go where others have perished before them, grave sites still mark the points where journeys ended long ago. In 1540, eighty years before the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock, Spanish explorers traveled the Highway of the Devil. During the 1690s, it was being used by those traveling between missions. By 1800, settlers were using it as a shortcut to connect points in Mexico to points in California. |
