Young, Jeremiah Simeon. Political and constitutional study of the Cumberland road. $1. Univ. of Chicago press.
“The introductory chapters on the early transportation difficulties and the first roads to the West are a most convenient summary of that interesting problem in our early economic history. The two following chapters on the genesis of the Cumberland road, its location, construction and administration, will be welcomed by everyone who has had to lecture on the subject. The long constitutional controversy is clearly outlined, taking up the question of eminent domain, jurisdiction, Monroe’s veto, and the final surrender of the road to the states through which the road passed.”—Ann. Am. Acad.
“The treatment is in the main historical. The style of the author is both good and bad. It is clear, but marred by numerous repetitions of lines and even paragraphs, giving us the impression that the chapters were written at widely separated times. There is, moreover, an unfortunate failure of correspondence at times between the text and citations. The book is a very readable and logical discussion of a most interesting subject. It is marred, however, by certain faults of style and inaccuracies in details.” Alonzo H. Tuttle.

“This is an admirable little monograph, a source study of a constitutional question of great historical significance. The monographic study will greatly aid the general historian in getting a sure grasp of the main questions involved.”
