in Colgate University, Hamilton, N.Y.

12mo, cloth, 188 pages, with maps and illustrations, 50 cents.

This volume is designed to aid the study of American history and
geography in the upper grades of grammar and first year of high schools.
It gives the story of the great roads across the Appalachians, telling
where they are, why they run as they do, and what their history has
been. The evolution from Indian trails to modern rapid transit is
studied in the Berkshires, along the Hudson and Mohawk, across the
uplands from Philadelphia and Baltimore, and through the Great Valley
to Tennessee and Kentucky.

The book shows how the waves of migration swept through the passes from
the seaboard to the country west of the mountains, and the essential
physiographic features of the eastern United States are worked in as
a part of the narrative.

William M. Davis, _Professor of Geology_, _Harvard University,
Cambridge, Mass._: Brigham's From Trail to Railway is a serviceable
example of a class of books that I hope to see increase in number.

Amos W. Farnham, _State Normal School_, _Oswego, N.Y._: From Trail
to Railway is written in Professor Brigham's clear and strong way
of saying things, and any one who knows the man can feel him as he
reads if he cannot see him. The style is well suited to the grades
for which the book is written, and the story of pioneer life is
one to engage the interest of history and geography pupils alike.
