Byway Description: Native Americans, Kaintuck boatmen, post riders, government officials, soldiers, and fortune seekers all moved across this trail charting new territory and creating a vital link between the Mississippi Territory and the fledgling United States. The Trace passes through forests, cypress swamps, and farmland. You can meander through the rock-studded hills of Tennessee, past cotton fields in Alabama, to Mississippi's marsh and bottomland.
