During the early nineteenth century the United States experienced a period of growth and expansion. To help meet needs occasioned by this growth, improved means of communication and transportation were established. Among these improvements were the construction of turnpikes. The period from 1800-1830 has, in fact, been termed by George Rogers Taylo
