Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an in-depth study of the role of civilian maritime activities in the development of the United States. It stresses the crucial role played by the oceans, rivers, lakes, and canals. The exploration and settlement of North America occurred within a maritime context during the European Age of Discovery. The colonists exploited the seas and rivers to develop a maritime-oriented economy prior to the American Revolution. British trade regulations both benefited and retarded the colonist's economic growth and played a substantial role in the movement towards independence. The study concludes with a discussion of the reasons for the decline of the American merchant marine and the dangers which that implies. Individual chapters are devoted to the fishing and whaling industries, the Great Lakes, and the western rivers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Developing America's Waterways: Administration of the Inland Waterways Corporation Secretary of War asked that the present independent survey of the corporation's policies and administration be made.

The survey was completed about the first of January, 193 5. After the Secretary of War and the executive officers of the corporation had had an opportunity to examine the report, Secretary Dern in April, 193 5, authorized its publication by the author and the University of Chicago.

Download or read book River Republic written by Daniel McCool and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel McCool chronicles the surging grassroots movement to bring America's rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations. This book confirms the surprising news that America's rivers are indeed returning to a healthier, free-flowing condition. Through passion and dedication, ordinary people are reclaiming the American landscape, forming a nation-wide "river republic" of concerned citizens from all backgrounds and sectors of society. McCool profiles the individuals he calls "instigators," who initiated the fight for these waterways and have succeeded in the near-impossible task of challenging and changing the status quo. He ties the history, culture, and fate of America to its rivers and presents their restoration as a microcosm mirroring American beliefs, livelihoods, and an increasing awareness of our shared environmental fate.
