Haskin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the monumental engineering feat that is the Panama Canal, detailing its construction, significance, and the various challenges faced during its building. It serves as an informative resource for readers interested in engineering marvels, American history, and international commerce. The opening of "The Panama Canal" sets the stage for understanding the canal's historical context, beginning with the early attempts to find a navigable route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Haskin chronicles the persistent efforts by explorers, likens the canal's construction to epic historical undertakings, and highlights the role of the United States in ultimately completing the project after the French debacle. The narrative emphasizes the significance of the canal not only as a strategic passage for international shipping but also as a symbol of American ingenuity and determination.
