Americans on the Move: A History of Waterways, Railways, and Highways

In Americans on the Move, Russell Bourne traces the history of transportation in America from the colonial years before the American Revolution to the present. This book, which includes rare photographs and maps from the Library of Congress (many of which have never been seen before by the public), explores the inventions, enthusiasms, and myths that have kept Americans on the move.

Russell Bourne is a writer and publishing consultant who has worked for American Heritage, Hearst Books, Smithsonian Books, and the National Geographic Book Service. He is the author of five books in the field of American history and splits the year between his writing desks in Ithaca, New York, and Castine, Maine.
