“The history of American trails and carries in colonial times; of paths,
roads, and highways in our national beginnings; and of our great lake,
river, and railroad traffic in later times is and has been of the first
importance in our social and political history. Mr. Hulbert has shown
himself abundantly able to investigate the subject and put in good form
the results of his labors.”—Professor WILLIAM M. SLOANE, _Princeton
University_.
“Mr. Hulbert has evidently mastered his subject, and has treated it very
ably and enthusiastically. History is too frequently a mere collection
of dry bones, but here we have a book which, when once begun, will be
read eagerly to the end, so vividly does the author bring scenes and
personages before us.”—_Current Literature._
“As in the prior volumes, the general effect is that of a most
entertaining series. The charm of the style is evident.”—_American
Historical Review._
“His style is effective ... an invaluable contribution to the makings of
American History.”—_New York Evening Post._
“Should fill an important and unoccupied place in American historical
literature.”—_The Dial._
