Hulbert, Archer Butler. Historic Highways of America. Cleveland, OH: Arthur H. Clark, 1902-1905.
Notes: Hulbert studied with frontier historian Frederick Jackson Turner and became fascinated with America's routes of inland migration and trade. Later, he became a history professor himself and a vigorous and prolific writer. This 16-volume series begins with <em>The Paths of the Mound-Building Indians</em> and concludes with <em>The Future of Road-Making</em>. (Vol. 16 is an index.) <em>Washington's Road</em> (Vol. 3), <em>Braddock's Road</em> (Vol. 4), and <em>The Cumberland Road</em>, (Vol. 10), deal with early roads to the west that passed through Maryland. <em>Great American Canals</em> (Vol.13) covers the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Hulbert's monumental work, both scholarly and brightly-written, has not been equalled in its field.

Hulbert, Archer Butler. The Old National Road--A Chapter of American Expansion. Columbus, OH: F. J. Heer, 1901.
Notes: Where has history gone that we cannot read the record in highways she has made? asks the author at the outset of his book. By its conclusion he has answered his question to the reader's satisfaction with a scholar's thoroughness and a novelist's eye for detail. See also Philip D. Jordan and Thomas B. Searight.

Hulbert, Archer Butler. The Paths of Inland Commerce. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1920.
Notes: A one-volume reprise of Hulbert's major themes.

Hulbert, Archer Butler. Washington and the West. New York: Century, 1905.
Notes: In presenting his annotated version of Washington's 1784 diary of his exploration of the wild and uncharted area between the Potomac and Ohio rivers, Hulbert makes the case that the "father of his country" was also the father of the National Road, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
