"The history of American trails and carries in colonial times; of paths, roads, and highways in our national beginnings; and of our great lake, river, and railroad traffic in later times is and has been of the first importance in our social and political history. Mr. Hulbert has shown himself abundantly able to investigate the subject and put in good form the results of his labors."—Professor, Princeton University.

"Mr. Hulbert has evidently mastered his subject, and has treated it very ably and enthusiastically. History is too frequently a mere collection of dry bones, but here we have a book which, when once begun, will be read eagerly to the end, so vividly does the author bring scenes and personages before us."—Current Literature.

"As in the prior volumes, the general effect is that of a most entertaining series. The charm of the style is evident."—American Historical Review.

"His style is effective an invaluable contribution to the makings of American History."—New York Evening Post.

"Should fill an important and unoccupied place in American historical literature."—The Dial.
