Abstract:
In the decade before the Civil War, getting goods to eastern markets from the Piedmont Region was hampered by a lack of good roads. Legislation passed in 1849 authorized construction of plank roads, and approximately 500 miles were built. Dunnagan discusses how the roads were built and who used them.
