The Revolution of the Car

This was the revolution of my Father's time. 

It was made possible by two additional inventions: the internal-combustion engine, and the pneumatic tire. It could navigate steep curves easily. And was enlarged to become the Truck and the Bus. 

In early America, the biggest obstacle to the way West was the Allegany Mountains. At first, this was thought to be the Potomac River, and a canal was built alongside it. One of its investors was George Washington. 

Bur the way became too steep for it to continue. This convinced George that surveying was necessary, and he became a surveyor himself. 

The Jeep became popular during the War, and shortly after it. My father bought the first Civilian Jeep and it got a lot of use. 

I wish I had a photo of it
