 | $IGetting Around$I explores how students of local transportation history might learn about this vital aspect of their community's past. The scope covers all major types of public transportation, including waterways, canals, railroads, electric interurbans, roads and aviation. This work also provides readers with a sense of the importance and interrelationship between transport forms in both a national and local context. Many period
photographs are included. |
