Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the development of transportation channels significantly influenced the economic growth of the United States. The author, an expert in railroad and canal management, presents a detailed analysis of the various routes used to transport goods between the Midwest and the East Coast in the 19th century. He argues that the Erie Canal was crucial in establishing New York City as the commercial hub of the nation, and that the subsequent development of railroads led to a shift in trade routes. The author also discusses the potential for future improvements to the transportation network, particularly the construction of a ship canal from Oswego to the Hudson River. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the role of transportation in shaping the economic and commercial landscape of the United States.
