Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book on Virginia's physical resources and commercial advantages, written in 1868 by a superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute, is rich with geographic, economic, and historical information presented through a comprehensive study of the state. The author presents a strong case for the development of Virginia's two grand lines of internal improvement: a railway from the Ohio River to the waters of the Chesapeake and a similar railway from the Tennessee River to the same point. These lines, the author argues, would not only serve to revitalize the economy of Virginia but would also serve the national interest by connecting the agricultural heartland of the Mississippi Valley with the sea via the port of Norfolk and the deeper harbors of the Chesapeake Bay. The book is filled with an abundance of statistical and economic data that make a compelling case for the commercial importance of these projects, their significance in the context of national defense, and their potential impact on the settlement and development of the American West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330213209_0
