Summary: "American Rural Highways" by T. R. Agg is a technical text focused on highway engineering, written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a resource for agricultural engineers and students interested in the design and construction of rural highways, illustrating the critical relationship between public roads and community progress. It encompasses concepts such as traffic development, highway administration, and materials used in road construction, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of rural transportation systems. At the start of "American Rural Highways," the author introduces the importance of highways in national and local contexts, discussing their role in facilitating commerce, education, and social interaction in rural communities. The initial chapters outline the various types of traffic on public highways, emphasizing the increasing necessity for improved roads as a response to agricultural and industrial growth. Agg highlights the intersection of traffic demands and highway administration, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of highway design, construction materials, and the engineering principles that govern rural road construction.
