Excerpt from The District in the Xviiith Century: History, Site-Strategy, Real Estate Market, Landscape, &C, as Described by the Earliest Travellers
Creveœcur, in his 'Letters of an American Farmer,'(1787), is one of the few of the early travellers to mention except casually the importance of the system of water transportation in this country during the later eighteenth century. This writer, who manages through much sentimentality to bring out a great deal of hard sense, devotes a page or two to an enlargement upon the intricacy of the system of waterways in America used for the carriage of commodities. That world having almost entirely disappeared, it is interesting to follow the remarks of an observer who seems to have grasped the whole significance of what the usual traveller saw as sporadic phenomena. Crevecoeur speaks of the colonies as being knit with the ramifications of navigable ways - arms of the sea, large rivers, small rivers, creeks; the Atlantic slope floating down its produce to the ports whither came the ships bearing fabricated articles from Europe.
