The Story of Panama: The New Route to India is a historical account written by Frank A. Gause in 1912. The book explores the construction of the Panama Canal, which was completed in 1914 and connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Gause delves into the history of the canal, from its inception in the 16th century to its eventual realization in the early 20th century. He discusses the political and economic factors that led to the canal's construction, including the desire for a faster trade route to Asia and the United States' interest in controlling the region. The book also covers the technical challenges faced during the construction of the canal, including the excavation of the Culebra Cut and the building of the locks. Gause provides a detailed account of the labor force involved in the project, which included thousands of workers from around the world, including many from the Caribbean and Europe. The Story of Panama: The New Route to India is a fascinating look into one of the most significant engineering feats of the 20th century and the impact it had on global trade and commerce.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
