The history of transportation by unknown author
In 1800, the nation’s natural waterways were the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances within the country. There is not direct connection between the major cities. One hundred years later, dramatically changes have been made. Railroads connected the country from East to West, large ships moved passengers travel across the ocean, new routes arisen all over the country. In late 1920s the Regional airlines began to offer regular service, it was an entirely new way of transportation.
This source is mostly about the history of transportation, my paper will be focus on the cons and pros of the transportation. I am not sure if will I will include the history in my paper or not.
I will put this source on my waiting list, and decide to use it or not when I writing my paper, and see if it will fits my paper or not
