Synopsis

This book explores the inseparable relationship between transportation and industrial development in Ohio, from the 19th-century to the early 20th-century. The author traces the impact of natural waterways, primitive routes of travel, the construction of roads and canals, and the arrival of railroads on Ohio's industry. The book details how transportation was often the driving force behind economic growth in the region, with many industrial centers springing up along transportation routes. It also examines the economic necessities that led to the development of transportation routes and how the demands for national and state aid in constructing means of transportation were instrumental in this expansion. In an era of increased interest in improved highways and waterways, this book is a valuable resource for understanding the interconnectedness of transportation and industrial development.
