Synopsis

""Early Chapters in the Development of the Potomac Route to the West"" is a historical book written by Corra Bacon-Foster and published in 1912. The book focuses on the early development of the Potomac River as a transportation route to the west. It covers the period from the early 1700s to the mid-1800s, when the Potomac River was a vital transportation route for goods and people traveling from the eastern seaboard to the western frontier. The book begins with an overview of the early settlement of the Potomac River valley and the challenges faced by travelers and merchants trying to navigate the river. It then goes on to detail the efforts of various individuals and organizations to improve the river's navigability, including the construction of canals, locks, and dams. Throughout the book, Bacon-Foster provides detailed accounts of the people and events that shaped the development of the Potomac route, including the role of George Washington in promoting the Potomac as a transportation route, the construction of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the impact of the Civil War on the river's use as a transportation route. Overall, ""Early Chapters in the Development of the Potomac Route to the West"" provides a fascinating look at the early history of one of America's most important transportation routes and the people who worked to make it a reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
