Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Bringing together the leading commercial, industrial and maritime figures of their day, this book emerged from the 16th annual session of the historic Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress. Members met in 1905, a significant year and the peak of an era of monumental commercial expansion for the states and territories west of the Mississippi River. The book records the Congress's discussions and recommendations on topics such as river and harbor improvements, the need for a Department of Mines and Mining, statehood for territories, merchant marine, forest reserves, and the importance of Oriental trade. Within the volume, the reader will also find recommendations for irrigation and the reclamation of arid lands, buoyed by the earlier creation of the national irrigation law. Providing insight into the minds and motivations of the men who drove American development during the early 20th century, this book offers a unique historical record and a fascinating glimpse into the trajectory of American commercial thought and practice.
