Excerpt from The Panama Gateway Failure to find the hidden strait did not Shake the faith of Columbus in its existence, and he died in 1506 as firmly convinced of its reality as he was igno rant oi the fact that he had discovered a new world. The contemporary explorers, whom his discoveries had inspired in England, Germany, and France, and who sailed across the Atlantic after him to the new lands, all shared his faith. They sought the hidden strait in eager rivalry and in complete ignorance that a new world had been found. Even when Vasco N ufiez de Balboa, his curiosity aroused by the talk of the native Indians about a mighty sea beyond the mountains, climbed the Cordilleras and discovered the Pacific, the truth was not suspected.

The Panama Canal is a modern marvel, but the idea for it arose in the 16th century through Spanish exploration. Deemed impossible at the time, humankind would have to wait a few centuries to see it become a reality. Readers will love learning about the history and science behind this wonder. Books of the Real Life Readers Program use real life scenario narratives to help readers further develop content-area reading, writing, and comprehension skills.

Realizing the century-old dream of a passage to India, the building of the Panama Canal was an engineering feat of colossal dimensions, a construction site filled not only with mud and water but with interpretations, meanings, and social visions. Alexander Missal’s Seaway to the Future unfolds a cultural history of the Panama Canal project, revealed in the texts and images of the era’s policymakers and commentators. Observing its creation, journalists, travel writers, and officials interpreted the Canal and its environs as a perfect society under an efficient, authoritarian management featuring innovations in technology, work, health, and consumption. For their middle-class audience in the United States, the writers depicted a foreign yet familiar place, a showcase for the future—images reinforced in the exhibits of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition that celebrated the Canal’s completion. Through these depictions, the building of the Panama Canal became a powerful symbol in a broader search for order as Americans looked to the modern age with both anxiety and anticipation. Like most utopian visions, this one aspired to perfection at the price of exclusion. Overlooking the West Indian laborers who built the Canal, its admirers praised the white elite that supervised and administered it. Inspired by the masculine ideal personified by President Theodore Roosevelt, writers depicted the Canal Zone as an emphatically male enterprise and Chief Engineer George W. Goethals as the emblem of a new type of social leader, the engineer-soldier, the benevolent despot. Examining these and other images of the Panama Canal project, Seaway to the Future shows how they reflected popular attitudes toward an evolving modern world and, no less important, helped shape those perceptions.
