Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the American transportation systems used during the 19th century.The first half of the 19th century saw massive growth in agricultural production in the United States, especially in the Western states. However, the existing transportation systems were inadequate to move the harvests to the East Coast for export or to provide Western farmers with affordable manufactured goods. The author analyzes the development of railroads, canals, and river transport in the 1800s. The construction of an integrated transportation network played a critical role in establishing an American agricultural economy. Topics in this book include the politics and economics of the railroad and canal industries, steamship lines, the Erie Canal, the Mississippi River, and the Great Lakes. The author also documents the transportation costs of various commodities and the impact improved transportation had on prices and market access for American farmers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
