Listen Later

How would you like to drive on a road that had 2-foot-high bumps in the middle of the lane? I wouldn’t either. But that was the standard for a well-built frontier road during the early 1800s. In this podcast I talk about the development of transportation systems in the United States during the 1800s. I include road building Canals, and railroads in the discussion.
