Historic Highways of America : Volume 7: Portage Paths - The Key to the Continent

A series of monographs on the History of America as portrayed in the evolution of its Highways of War, Commerce, and Social Expansion. Comprising the following volumes:

Paths of the Mound-Building Indians and Great Game Animals.

Indian Thoroughfares.

Washington's Road: The First Chapter of the Old French War.

Braddock's Road.

The Old Glade (Forbes's) Road.

Boone's Wilderness Road.

Portage Paths: The Keys of the Continent.

Military Roads of the Mississippi Basin.

Waterways of Westward Expansion.

The Cumberland Road.

Pioneer Roads of America (two volumes).

The Great American Canals (two volumes).

The Future of Road-Making in America.

The little portage pathways which connected the heads of our rivers and lakes or offered the voyageur a thoroughfare around the cataracts and rapids of our rivers were, as the subtitle of this volume suggests, the " Keys of the Continent " two centuries or so ago. The forts, chapels, trading stations, treaty houses, council fires, boundary stones, camp grounds, and villages located at these strategic points all prove this. The study of these routes brings one at once face to face with old-time problems from a point of view almost never otherwise gained. The newness and value of reviewing historic movements from the standpoint of highways is strikingly emphasized in the case of portage paths. While studying them, one seems to rise on heights of ground like those these pathways spanned — and from that altitude, gazing backward, to get a better perspective of the military and social movements which made these little roads historic.
