Annotation Historian and transportation engineer, Richard DeLuca looks in detail at the turnpikes, steamboats, canals, railroads and trolleys that helped define Connecticut and shape New England. Advances in transportation technology during the nineteenth century transformed the state from a rough network of colonial towns to an industrial powerhouse of the Gilded Age. Engaging stories emerge as a struggle ensues to control the movement of goods and passengers in southern New England.
