Triumph Volume 6
Pioneer and Challenger - The Titanic Struggle for the Ohio River and Maryland that Kindled the Creation of a Vast Superpower
Two words. Rail Road. The founders of B&O were determined to build a super highway to Ohio. A road on rails, with the load pulled by horses. Because a horse could pull twelve times the weight of a horse pulling a wagon on a road so long as the load is suspended on rails and the grade kept to a minimum.
This was a quantum leap in overland transportation efficiency and, in the eyes of Baltimore Cavaliers, at least a partial answer to the New Orleans and Canal threats because Baltimore lay an average of 200 miles closer to Ohio than her northern rivals.
