The Future of Road-making in America

"The Future of Road-making in America" by Archer Butler Hulbert, is a discourse on America's road-building problems at the turn of the century. This work investigates how fixing beaten-down roads can raise up communities, farms, and the whole economy. Experts present a variety of arguments that illustrate why improving roads matters and how they affect rural people and the country. Data show how farmers felt the financial sting of awful roads because they lived far from railroads. Important people reveal the social, educational, and economic damages caused by bad roads. Diminished social experiences, worse school attendance, and isolation all result. The book suggests that fixing roads is more than a building project; it is a social and political problem that needs the nation to pay attention and governments to work together.
