Bad roads once trapped a farmer's harvest miles from any market. T. R. Agg surveys American rural highways: how they were built, surfaced, and maintained to connect the countryside to the towns that bought its goods. A solid engineering-minded look at the roads that carried the farm economy. Trace the routes that finally let the land reach the market.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
