Summary
Becky's presentation contains information about the canal system, steamboats, early trains, and how taverns/inns were the center of community life, post offices, and places to get the news of the world. She shows Charles Dickens' travel route through Ohio - including Delaware (on the Sandusky Pike) - that shows how he took 3 modes of transportation. It's very instructive.
