Bridges and Man's Increased Mobility
The past century—the Society's first century—has seen the transformation of the United States, from a young pioneer settlement to a great and flourishing nation, taking its place in the leadership of the world. From forest and wilderness, mountain and desert, this country has been metamorphosed into a rich and dynamic land. First expanded and tied together with isolated wagon roads, canals, and railroads, it is now crisscrossed with magnificent systems of paved highways, boulevards, scenic parkways, throughways, and superhighways. From pack horse, oxcart, and prairie schooner, United States has been transmuted into a nation on wheels.
