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.

Download or read book The Big Ditch written by Noel Maurer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive economic and political history of the Panama Canal On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal officially opened for business, forever changing the face of global trade and military power, as well as the role of the United States on the world stage. The Canal's creation is often seen as an example of U.S. triumphalism, but Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu reveal a more complex story. Examining the Canal's influence on Panama, the United States, and the world, The Big Ditch deftly chronicles the economic and political history of the Canal, from Spain's earliest proposals in 1529 through the final handover of the Canal to Panama on December 31, 1999, to the present day. The authors show that the Canal produced great economic dividends for the first quarter-century following its opening, despite massive cost overruns and delays. Relying on geographical advantage and military might, the United States captured most of these benefits. By the 1970s, however, when the Carter administration negotiated the eventual turnover of the Canal back to Panama, the strategic and economic value of the Canal had disappeared. And yet, contrary to skeptics who believed it was impossible for a fledgling nation plagued by corruption to manage the Canal, when the Panamanians finally had control, they switched the Canal from a public utility to a for-profit corporation, ultimately running it better than their northern patrons. A remarkable tale, The Big Ditch offers vital lessons about the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, American overseas interventions on institutional development, and the ability of governments to run companies effectively.
