"The Road and the Roadside" by Burton Willis Potter is a comprehensive treatise on the principles of road construction and maintenance, written in the late 19th century. The work examines the importance of roads in society, discussing legal, historical, and practical aspects of road use and maintenance, with specific reference to Massachusetts laws. The author aims to promote good road-building practices and the appreciation of rural living, suggesting that well-maintained roads contribute significantly to societal progress and individual happiness. At the start of the text, Potter emphasizes the historical significance of roads, tracing their role as markers of civilization from ancient empires to modern societies. He discusses illustrious examples such as Roman roads and their impact on trade and communication, while also highlighting the disrepair of roads during the dark ages. The opening portion sets the groundwork for Potter's argument about the critical need for improved road infrastructure, suggesting that the health of roads reflects the broader health of a community, both socially and economically.
