 | Getting Around explores how students of local transportation history might learn about this vital aspect of their community's past. The scope covers all major types of public transportation, including waterways, canals, railroads, electric interurbans, roads and
aviation. This work also provides readers with a sense of the importance and interrelationship between transport forms in both a national and local context. Many period photographs are included. |
| | | | "Grant provides good general information on the history of roads and suggestions about how to research them, especially about what resources are available…The history of transportation is a wide open field and Getting Around is a good foundation from which to start one's own journey into the subject."
