Max J. Skidmore recounts the establishment of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway which stretches from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon, and encompasses much of what is known today as U.S. Highway 2. Skidmore focuses much of his attention on the completion of the final stretch of the highway at Marias Pass in Montana in 1930 and the subsequent construction of a granite obelisk monument to Theodore Roosevelt at the Pass. Skidmore highlights the Roosevelt family members in attendance at the monument’s dedication in 1931 and again at its rededication in 1991. A photograph of the obelisk monument supplements the text.
