Indian Paths of Pennsylvania
Author: Paul A. W. Wallace

Pages : 0
Book Description
With the advent of European settlement, the Indian foot trails that laced the Pennsylvania wilderness often became bridle paths, wagon roads, and eventually even motor highways. Most of the old paths were so well situated that there was little reason to forsake them until the age of the automobile. That the Indians, taking every advantage offered by the terrain, "kept the level" so well among Pennsylvania's mountains is an engineering curiosity. Just as remarkable is the complexity of the system and its adaptability to changing seasons and weather. Colonial travelers and Indians met frequently on the trail. Whether traveling to hunt, trade, war, negotiate, or visit, Native Americans demonstrated in these chance encounters that they were not the fiends some thought them to be. Indian Paths of Pennsylvania traces the Indian routes, reveals historical associations, and guides the motorist in following them today.

Conflict and Defense
Author: Kenneth Ewart Boulding
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1789126258
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Conflict and Defense, which was first published in 1962, presents a general theory of conflict, drawing on theoretical analyses from sociology and economics. This text by Kenneth E. Boulding, a pre-eminent economist and founder of ecological economics, examines the common processes of conflict, the roles of different participants in conflicts, and describes features which are unique to specific types of conflict. Conflict and Defense will be of interest to those who seek an improved theoretic understanding of conflict. Divided into sixteen chapters, the book offers both a general theoretic model of conflict, and analyses of the unique features which distinguish international, economic, industrial and ideological conflicts. It is clearly written and will be accessible to the well-informed reader. “The origin of this book in my own mind can be traced back to a passionate conviction of my youth that war was the major moral and intellectual problem of our age. If the years have made this conviction less passionate, they have made it no less intense. The book, therefore, is not a work of that idle curiosity which, according to Veblen, is the motivator of pure science. It is driven rather by that practical curiosity which inspires applied science. Nevertheless, it is a work of pure theory, that is, of the abstract imagination...”—Kenneth E. Boulding

Highways in Our National Life - A Symposium

Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
Not only is the Road one of the great human institutions because it is fundamental to social existence, but aIso because its varied effect appears in every department of the State. It is the Road which determines the sites of many cities and the growth and nourishment of all. It is the Road which controIs the development of strategics and fixes the sites of battles, It is the Road which gives its frame-work to all economic development. It is the Road which is the channel of all trade and, what is more important, of all ideas. In its most humble function it is a necessary guide without which progress from place to place would be a ceaseless experiment it is a sustenance without which organized society would be impossible thus, and with those other characters I have mentioned, the Road moves and controls all history. Today Americans are conscious of the importance of roads as never before. During the recent war everyone necessarily recognized the role that roads played in the grand strategy of the conflict and the Burma Road, the Libyan Road, and the Alcan Highway became expressions as commonly used and as familiar as, say, the Lincoln Highway had been before. Both here and abroad motor transport played an all-important part in the winning of the war, whether in the logistics of supply or in the invasion of a continent. Since then, the domestic scene has caught and demanded our attention. Whereas in 1921 American motor vehicles traveled some 55 bilIion miIes on 387,000 miles of surfaced roads, today they are traveling about 368 bilIion miles over 1,500,000 miles of surfaced roads the result is a congestion that affects, or disaffects, almost everyone. Motorists have become aware of the limitations of highways built only a decade or two ago, and are generaLIy interested in the problems of planning, design, and engineering. Parkways, scenic routes, and roads to our neighboring countries have greatly stimulated pleasure driving for tourists, Freight traEc has increasingly turned to the highway from the railroad, even for long hauls and of the total tonnage of the nations freight......
