uct to the market. Transportation is also essential to the success of our political 

 system. Without free communication between its different parts, this vast terri- 

 tory could hardly have governed itself successfully under a free Constitution. 



The history of transportation is the story of the successful conquest of great 

 natural obstacles. The early settlers had to follow, in most cases, the Indian 

 trails, many of which had, in turn, been first traced by the buffalo. The trail 

 was broadened into the wagon road, the wagon road was converted into the turn- 

 pike, and the turnpike made possible the canal and the railroad. This volume 

 stops at the Civil War, and, therefore, does not deal with the railroad problems of 

 the present day.

In preparing the above volumes the term economic has been liberally inter- 

 preted. The index embraces reports of the boards of agriculture, charities and 

 corrections, education, public works and public health, banking, insurance, railroad 

 and tax commissions, bureaus of labor and vital statistics, climate and crop bulle- 

 tins, geological surveys, fish, game, and forest commissions, auditors' and treas- 

 urers' reports, immigration, sewerage and water-supply, roads, canals and river con- 

 servancy, governors' messages, and reports of attorneys general. Particular care has 

 been taken in reading the above-mentioned reports to note recommendations, sug- 

 gestive comment, and especially the character of the tabulations. A check-list of the 

 entire file of reports accompanies each subject. The indexed material is arranged 

 chronologically under each subject. Thus the student is able to trace the historical 

 development of each economic subject as it is reflected in the documents of an 

 individual State. The work is published by States, a single volume to a State, and 

 is designed to cover the period from the adoption of the Federal Constitution to the 

 close of the year 1904.
