Join this great voyage through the annals of the Panama Canal, which is, one hundred years following its completion, on the eve of a new section in its amazing history. From the early explorers, many seeking a critical water connection between two of the world's great oceans to the perseverance of the greatest engineers of America, the top DIG finally opened up for shipping - you will be on board! What stood in the form of making this canal a reality? Dense jungle, bottomless swamps, snakes and wildlife, endless mountain slides, vicious mosquito borne diseases, hostile Indians, marauding pirates and buccaneers, and jealous colonial-era world power, merely to name a few. The story of the Panama Canal is told in this audiobook through the initial news accounts of your day combined with the construction efforts, that made an appearance in many magazines. In addition, the thorough chronicles of veteran newspaperman Logan Marshall have been restored, edited and abridged by the writer. The story told so well one hundred years ago has been recently enhanced, investigated and the verbiage brought up thus far. Panama 1914 provides the reader with a full knowledge of the aborted tries, the competing routes, and the lambasting of Leader Teddy Roosevelt as a result of the press as well as interesting anecdotes of history.
