The Story of Panama: The New Route to India is a historical account of the construction of the Panama Canal, written by Frank A. Gause and published in 1912. The book provides a detailed description of the planning, engineering, and construction of the canal, as well as the political and economic factors that led to its creation. The book begins with a brief history of the region, including the early explorations and attempts to build a canal, before delving into the main subject of the book: the construction of the canal itself. Gause describes the challenges faced by the engineers and workers, including the difficult terrain, the harsh climate, and the deadly diseases that plagued the workers. Throughout the book, Gause also explores the political and economic factors that led to the creation of the canal, including the competition between European powers for access to the lucrative markets in Asia and the Pacific. He also discusses the role of the United States in the construction of the canal, including the political maneuvering that led to the acquisition of the Canal Zone and the eventual completion of the project. Overall, The Story of Panama: The New Route to India is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important engineering feats of the 20th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the region, as well as the political and economic forces that shaped the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
