America Travels

Americans are probably the world's greatest travelers. They have always moved about freely in this great land. Usually, they have moved to see other parts of the country or to live in a new place.

Americans have traveled in many ways. The first travelers moved along Indian paths on foot or on horseback. Then, settlers with their wagons pushed through the wilderness.

The pioneers built canoes and rafts to float along the rivers and streams. They built ships to sail along the coast.

As more land was settled, people began to move westward. At one time or another, the covered wagon, the stagecoach, the canalboat, and the steamboat were each thought to be the best way to travel. Then came the railroad, the automobile, and the airplane.

The stories you will read here tell of American pioneering and progress in ways of travel by land and water. Travel in the air is a story in itself.
