Opening the West: Federal Internal Improvements Before 1860 - Contributions in Economics and Economic History
Laurence Malone
Contradicting the view that the West and its people were shaped by economic determinism - the author argues that the federal government determined the direction of settlement in the frontier before settlers arrived through its construction programme of roads and improvements to rivers and harbours.
