Abstract
- The article investigates why Kearney, Nebraska is regarded as located 1,733 miles from Frisco, Texas and Boston, Massachusetts. Kearney measured 1,752 miles from San Francisco, California and 1,632 miles from New York City, New York, according to the 1915 Lincoln Highway guide, placing the midpoint of the highway sixty miles west of town. A possible explanation for the 1733 figure, along with information on the history of the 1733 Ranch in Kearney is presented.
