The Americans In Panama

By William Rufus Scott

Book Overview

""The Americans in Panama"" by William R. Scott is a historical account of the United States' involvement in the construction of the Panama Canal. The book covers the period from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, when the US government undertook the ambitious project of building a canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The book explores the political, economic, and social factors that led to the decision to build the canal, as well as the challenges faced by the Americans during the construction process. The author also delves into the impact of the canal on the local population, including the displacement of indigenous people and the exploitation of workers. Through detailed research and analysis, Scott offers a comprehensive overview of one of the most significant engineering feats of the 20th century, and its lasting impact on both the United States and Panama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
