About the Historic Highway 101 - Take a nostalgic trip along scenic Highway 101. The history of the road really began shortly after the turn of the twentieth century in Oceanside and North San Diego County, when wagons and primitive autos competed for space on its narrow, bumpy, unpredictable dirt surface. San Diego County, the State, and the City of Oceanside all financed the concrete and macadam road through north San Diego commencing in 1909 and terminating in 1918 with the pavement of the thoroughfare through Oceanside. Fifteen feet wide and four inches thick without shoulders and subgrades, this "improved" road did not last too long.

United States history has been through many worse times and survived. While researching the 1920s for my book The Ragmans War, I learned many dark secrets about the Roaring Twenties hidden in union archives, news articles from that time, and in memories of old men. Applying the 10 steps to the administrations of Wilson, Harding and Coolidge would have made it the 1920s the worst decade for fascism in US history. Steel and Rail Barons controlled all branches of government and wielded their influence to keep millions of immigrant workers laboring in the mills and mines for little or no wages. Dissidents and union organizers who riled against this serf system of cheap labor that kept the Twenties stock market roaring were branded as anarchists. They were detained, deported, jailed, or murdered. In the mining towns the mine families were forbidden to bear arms, to assemble, to have free ingress and egress to their towns, to sing hymns, and join unions. During the 1927-28 strike in the western Pennsylvania coalfields, they had their property seized and sold at auction and were evicted from their houses even when the rent was paid.
