商品簡介
This reprint of a 1908 original work chronicling the network of transportation and economic circulation in the southern United States during the nineteenth century contains a new introduction by Aaron Marrs, a historian for the US Department of State, illuminating the value of this classic work for modern historians. Part of a series designed to provide fresh access to important primary and secondary documents for the study of Southern history, this work provides a view of transportation networks and their economic and cultural effects against the backdrop of slavery and in the run-up to the Civil War.
