Overview

""American Rural Highways"" (1920) by Thomas Radford Agg provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices of rural highway design and construction in the early 20th century United States. This seminal work covers essential topics such as highway location, road materials, drainage systems, and the economic considerations involved in developing effective rural transportation networks. Agg's detailed analysis of construction methods and maintenance strategies offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by engineers during a period of rapid infrastructural development. The book serves as an important historical record, capturing the state of highway engineering at a crucial juncture in American history, as the nation transitioned from horse-drawn transportation to the age of the automobile. It is a vital resource for historians, civil engineers, and anyone interested in the evolution of transportation infrastructure in America.
