Americans are always on the move, either in their place or in their dreams, moving forward.


​American Transportation

Before the 1830s, Travelers moved at the speed a horse walked (4 miles per hour).  In the course of just a few decades, thanks to better technology like railroad, what took weeks of travel to reach changed to days.  By the end of the 19th century, the internal combustion engine promised to change days to hours!
