The Very Worst Road contains sixteen contemporary accounts by travelers who reached Alabama along what was known as the ?Old Federal Road,? more a network of paths than a single road, that ran from Columbus and points south in Georgia for more or less due west into central Alabama and to where the confluence of the Tallapoosa and Coosa Rivers forms the Alabama River.
