Description

Transportation's impact historically on the growth of American towns and cities has been more than significant-it has been incredible. America's rise as a great nation was in no small part due to individuals who developed its transportation systems. This book presents a narrative history of the development of our nation's transportation systems through the perspectives and activities of personages significant in each historical era. Some of the protaganists are familiar-George Washington as a young surveyor trekking to the new western territories. Some were ruthless in their quest-Thomas Durant, master schemer of the Union Pacific Railroad. Others were larger-than-life figures now largely forgotten-Carl G. Fisher, eccentric entrepreneur who oversaw construction of the country's first coast-to-coast highway as a way to promote sales of his automobile headlamps. Other biographical sketches illustrate unbelievable feats-Annie Kopchovsky, who in 1894 left her husband and two children for fifteen months to successfully ride a bicycle around the world. The individual stories are intriguing, enlightening, and sometimes unbelievable. A reflection on these individuals and their roles in 'Crossing the Continent' provides the focus for this history of American daring and determination.
