American Rural Highways

"American Rural Highways" by T. R. Agg is an early 20th-century technical guide that explores the creation and upkeep of rural roads, highlighting their significance in boosting community growth. Meant for agricultural engineers and students, the book includes topics such as traffic growth, road management, and the materials utilized in building roads. Early on, it lays out how important roadways are both locally and nationally, focusing on how they help support commerce, education, and social lives in rural areas. It also identifies sorts of traffic on public roads, pointing out the growing requirement for upgraded roads to match expanding agricultural and industrial sectors. The connection between traffic needs and governmental administration is spotlighted before a detailed look into design, construction materials, and engineering principles for rural roadwork.
