| ROSE, ALBERT C. AKA "THE ROADBUILDER". Public Roads of the Past: 3500 B.C. to 1800 A.D / Historic American Highways. Washington D.C. :, American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO),, 1952., First Edition, Hardcover. Quarto in dark green cloth, title in gilt on the front cover, 183 pages. The book is in two sections, the first 97 pages contain a collection of 21 articles appearing in American Highways from April 1944 through 1949 done by "The Old Roadbuilder." This is a pseudonym used by Albert C. Rose, a major highway historian who moved west to begin an education in engineering and started his highway career with the State of Oregon and went on to work for the Bureau of Public Roads in 1919. Section two is titled "Historic American Highways: significant incidents in the development of highway transportation in Colonial America and the United States during more than four centuries." Contains information on incidents from 1539 - 1945, many reference maps, and an especially thorough 19 page bibliography. A short inscription to and from people involved with highway construction appears on a front presentation page. Minor rubbing to the top and bottom of the spine and top corners of the front and back cover are turned in. A faint shadow of about an inch runs down the spine side of the front cover, most likely caused by an odd placement of an adjacent book. Very Good+.
