Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Assumed First Edition. 224 Pages Indexed. Copyright 1964 and first released September 1. Orange boards with black quarter-spine with gold decorations and endpaper maps of the principal wagon roads. Book is brand new gift quality condition. Jacket is price clipped and has a quarter inch closed tear at the top. Includes maps, illustrations, table, notes, and bibliographical notes. This is number two of eighteen in the Holt, Rinehart and Winston Histories of the American Frontier. Like the other books in this series, it tells a complete story; it may also be read as part of the broader history of westward expansion told in connected form in these volumes. Professor Winther's book is unique in that it is the first serious study of all aspects of western transportation, from the advent of overland freighting to the era of the automobile. It is the first to recognize that water transportation played an important role in the occupation of the Far West, and to gauge the influence of traffic on the Missouri and Colorado on settlement and military operations. It carries the reader back to those days of primitive conveyances and allows him to realize the discomforts of a stagecoach ride or the thrill of a journey on one of the luxurious Palace Cars of George Pullman. And, by no means least important, it is the first to allot the now-forgotten bicycle its proper credit in stimulating the Good Roads movement across the nation. Paved highways shrank distances even more than railroads; as they spread across the West the pioneer era in the history of American transportation drew to a close. These contributions correctly suggest that this is a work from which both scholars and the historically curious can gain much in information as well as pleasure. Like the other books in this series of 18, it tells a complete story; it may also be read as part of the broader history of westward expansion told in connected form in these volumes.
