Description
This
photograph
is
a
view
of a
horse-drawn
buggy
seen
from the
back
. The
buggy
is
traveling
along
a
badly
rutted
section
of the
National
Road
.
Ahead
of the
buggy
, on the
right
,
is
a
low
building
(or
cluster
of
buildings)
.
Telegraph
poles
and
wire
fencing
line
both
sides
of the
land
bordering
the
road
. The
National
Road
(also
called
the
Cumberland
Road
or the
U.S
.
Road)
was the
first
federally
sponsored
roadway
. The
U.S
.
Congress
commissioned
the
National
Road
in
1806
as a
conduit
to the
West
,
linking
the
Potomac
River
and
Cumberland
,
Maryland
, to
St
.
Louis
,
Missouri
, and the
Mississippi
River
. The
road
opened
Ohio
and the
Northwest
Territory
to
settlement
and
trade
with the
eastern
U.S
. By
1838
the
Cumberland
Road
had
reached
Springfield
,
Ohio
;
three
years
later
it
reached
Vandalia
,
Illiinois
,
where
construction
stopped
due
to a
funding
shortfall
. By this
time
the
railroads
had
attracted
travelers
and
business
shipping
away
from the
National
Road
, and the
project
was
abandoned
. The
National
Road
crossed
the
state
of
Ohio
along
what
is
now
U.S
.
