Excerpt from Transportation
Travel and transportation are related to every art and to almost every activity of man, and every trade known to exist has done some work especially for the traveler and common carrier. Moreover, it is by means of travel and transportation that the people of one locality are made acquainted with the people and products of other localities. Ah inter change of products between people of different localities was one of the earliest results of this mutual acquaintance. Each tribe produced some thing that the others did not possess or that they could not produce so well, and the exchange was to the advantage of both parties to the trade.
