The author argues that as the nation emerges from decades of economic depression, it should turn its attention to improving national infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. Despite the importance of reliable wagon roads for the nation's agricultural industry, they have been neglected, unlike the roads of European nations. Focusing on issues of labor, material, and economics, the author proposes a comprehensive plan, including detailed designs, for constructing and maintaining roads tailored to the needs of each region. This book additionally outlines the role of education and how the government and its citizens can work together to transform neglected country roads into a national asset.
