Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author examines the competing roles of railways and inland waterways as modes of regional and continental trade during the 19th century. They go beyond the popular myth that increasing the carrying capacity of canals and rivers would win a greater share of trade traffic for Canada and the St. Lawrence. Through analysis of transportation methods, trade statistics, and a critical review of canal performance in the US, the author argues that railways were making canals economically obsolete at the time and were depriving them of their previous preeminence as carriers of trade regardless of infrastructure improvements. If Canada wanted to increase trade with the US West, the author points out that it would have to do so primarily through expanding railway infrastructure and interconnections, not through public works projects aimed at improving waterways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
