Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Panama Canal: Its Past, Present and Possible Future The timbers of the first ship which plowed the waters of the Pacific Ocean., manned by white men, as far as history, or tradition, if you please, tells us, were laid in a small bay on the southern side of the isthmus of Darien, by one of these adventurers, and these timbers were cut on the shores of the Atlantic, hewn into shape and carried across the isthmus to the shore of the Pacific, and were there put together for the first voyage into the unknown sea. This work was performed by natives, seized and held as slaves by the Spaniards, whom without such enforced labor could have done little, but whom with the cross in one hand and the sword and torch in the other, forced the civilization of mediaeval Europe, onto the greater part of the new world. It is a far cry from the vision of this small band of Spanish explorers, taking a month with their miserable slaves to carry their small ship across the isthmus, to the vision of some future great admiral, steaming with a fleet of modern war ships, manned by the pride and glory of the United States, making the same trip in 8 hours but the latter is a prospect that should be realized within a comparatively short time. The conquests of Peru, and the spoliation of her wealth by Pizarro and the men who followed him, are matters of history. The most natural route by which all the spoils of conquest, which were claimed by the Crown of Spain, could be sent home was by the west coast of South America, thence across the isthmus and over the Atlantic to Spain. This practice, with the necessity for a port on the south side of the isthmus brought into existence the city of Panama, and from Panama northward across the isthmus, the Spaniards constructed a road, paved with stone, wide enough for two heavily laden mules to pass, and over which for years crossed and re-crossed the pack trains, which kept open the lines of communication between the Pacific Ocean and the plate ships of Spain. This old road still exists, and the writer has traveled over miles of it still in fairly good condition, and giving ample evidence of the thoroughness with which such works were then carried out. All of these millions of treasure did not reach Spain: Panama in those early days was accounted the richest city on earth, in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, and we can be well assured that it took full toll of all treasure passing its portals.

Book Synopsis John Frank Stevens by : Clifford Foust
Download or read book John Frank Stevens written by Clifford Foust and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's foremost civil engineers of the past 150 years, John Frank Stevens was a railway reconnaissance and location engineer whose reputation was made on the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern lines. Self-taught and driven by a bulldog tenacity of purpose, he was hired by Theodore Roosevelt as chief engineer of the Panama Canal, creating a technical achievement far ahead of its time. Stevens also served for more than five years as the head of the US Advisory Commission of Railway Experts to Russia and as a consultant who contributed to many engineering feats, including the control of the Mississippi River after the disastrous floods of 1927 and construction of the Boulder (Hoover) Dam. Drawing on Stevens's surviving personal papers and materials from projects with which he was associated, Clifford Foust offers an illuminating look into the life of an accomplished civil engineer.

Download or read book Prize Possession written by John Major and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prize Possession is a history of United States policy towards the Panama Canal, focusing principally on the first two generations of American tenure of the Canal Zone between 1904 and 1955. John Major also provides an extensive look at the nineteenth-century background, the making of the 1903 canal treaty with Panama, the move after 1955 towards the new treaty settlement of 1977, and the crucial significance of the Canal to American policy-makers and their public. The book is based for the most part on the hitherto largely untapped sources of US government agencies, namely, the State, War, and Navy Department, and the Canal Zone administration, as well as on the papers of notable dramatis personae such as Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt and Philippe Bunau-Varilla. As such it makes an important and original contribution to our knowledge and understanding of a subject which has not yet received its due from historians.
