The Old National Road: A Chapter Of American Expansion is a historical book written by Archer Butler Hulbert and first published in 1901. The book explores the history of the National Road, one of the earliest major highways in the United States. The National Road was built in the early 19th century to connect the eastern seaboard to the western frontier, and played a significant role in the expansion and development of the United States.In this book, Hulbert provides a detailed account of the construction of the National Road, as well as its impact on the people and communities it passed through. He describes the challenges faced by the road builders, including the difficult terrain and the political and economic obstacles they encountered.Hulbert also examines the social and cultural changes brought about by the National Road, including the growth of towns and cities along its route, and the emergence of new industries and transportation systems. He discusses the role of the road in the westward expansion of the United States, and its impact on the lives of ordinary Americans.Overall, The Old National Road: A Chapter Of American Expansion is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most important transportation projects in American history. It provides a unique perspective on the early years of the United States, and sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by the pioneers who helped to shape the nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
