| Summary | "Highways and Highway Transportation" by George R. Chatburn is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the historical development and significance of highways in the United States, illustrating their role in transportation and civilization. The author aims to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of highway evolution from primitive trails to modern road systems. The opening of this publication sets the stage by discussing the essential relationship between transportation and civilization, arguing that the state of transportation reflects the progress of a society.
