The King's Best Highway: The Lost History of the Boston Post Road, the Route that Made America, by Eric Jaffe (Scribner, 2013)
It includes, as a very necessary component, a pretty good history of the Colonial period of Greater Southern New England, including the assembly of modern Connecticut out of its original three constituent colonies and the relations between them (of particular interest to me as a Nutmegger), the Indian wars of the period, the transition from New Amsterdam to New York and the important role it played in the highway, and much more. It does a very good job of explaining what it was like to travel this area in the early 17th Century, when most of it was Native villages and wilderness in between, with only a sprinkling of European settlements. And yes, it includes some really fascinating maps, too.
