| Summary | "America, Volume 2 (of 6)" by Joel Cook is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the development and significance of various regions in the United States, particularly focusing on the routes and infrastructure that facilitated westward expansion. The book likely covers key historical events, individuals, and geographical features that shaped the American landscape and economy during this transformative period. The opening of the volume introduces the theme of infrastructure and exploration, beginning with the discussion of the Old Pike, the first major highway over the Allegheny Mountains, which played a crucial role in connecting the Eastern states with the burgeoning West. It traces the political and social implications of this development, highlighting influential figures such as George Washington and their visions for internal improvements. The text is rich in detail, recounting anecdotes, early settlements, and the significance of key transportation routes while setting the stage for further exploration into the American experience and the various regions that define it.
