Excerpt from The Story of American Roads This is the story of American roads - why and how they were built, and where they led. It is also the story of the men who made the roads, and the women and children who journeyed with them. They were courageous people, although they never stopped to think about it. It took courage and patience and strength to cut a path through wilderness country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from American Highways: A Popular Account of Their Conditions and of the Means by Which They May Be Bettered HE historian of this country for the century which is now drawing to its close is likely to note the fact that the people of the United States bore in a singularly patient manner with the evils arising from poor carriage roads until near the end of the tenth decade, and that they then were suddenly aroused to a sense of the sore tax the ill condition of these necessary features of civilization had long inflicted upon them. Let us hope that he may be able to say that in approaching this great economic prob lem, they did so in a manner which showed that they were well informed as to the conditions under which they could deal with it in the light of the previous experience of men, and with the help which the resources of modern science could afl'ord them.

Excerpt from American Rural Highways American Rural Highways was written for use as a text or reference in courses dealing with rural highways and intended for agricultural engineers, students in agriculture and for short courses and extension courses. The reader is assumed to have familiarity with drawing and surveying, but the text is adapted primarily for students who do not receive training along the lines of the usual course in Highway or Civil Engineering. The text is intended to familiarize the student with the relation of highway improvement to national progress, to indicate the various problems of highway administration and to set forth the usual methods of design and construction for rural highways in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of the distinguishing characteristics and relative serviceability of each of the common types of roadway surface. Experience with classes made up of students in agriculture or agricultural engineering and with trade school students in road making served as a guide in the selection and arrangement of the material. Detailed discussion of tests of materials and of the theory of design has to a considerable extent been eliminated as being outside of the scope of the course for which the text is intended. In the preparation of American Rural Highways reference was had to many books on highway subjects and to current periodical literature. Wherever direct extracts were made from such source, appropriate acknowledgment appears in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Good Roads Year Book, 1917 The public interest in road improvements during the last two years has been steadily growing but it has been largely exhibited in a willingness to vote road bonds and to assume road taxes The use of the funds so made available has apparently not yet given the American public any sustained concern. The reason is not far to seek. It lies 1n the assumption that highway con struction and maintenance require little more than good faith and common sense. Many persons without engineering expe ricuce have been persuaded to acquiesce in methods of work which lead to unnecessary waste. Highway engineers throughout the country have been confronted with the necessity of directing the energies of enthusiastic advocates of better roads along lines at once financially and economically wise. Such educational work has been and still 18 no small task for men so busily engaged in the discharge of their usual duties as are the professional road builders.
