Have you ever asked yourself, How did we get here? This book chronicles
the step by step history of Ohio’s ground transportation system,
covering 250 years of Indian Trails, Stage Coaches, Taverns & Inns,
Canals & Locks, Steamboats, Railroads, Interurbans, Streetcars,
Bicycles, Motor Bikes, Automobiles, Road Development and beyond. The
author brings to life Ohio’s history through photos, maps and detailed
descriptions of past generations.
Ohio is unique in that it has 5 borders which played a pivotal role in
the shaping of its transportation systems. Its succession of transport
forms developed and shaped our cities, towns and villages. Every mode
has, and continues to move people and goods, create jobs and provide
economic security for communities around the state and beyond. Our
surroundings and lives revolve around how we travel and where we go.
Simply, America continues to prosper by having a centrally located state
that can, and has done it all.
