"Across Mountain and Muskeg is an historical description and examination of the construction of the Canadian transportation system. Separate chapters are devoted to the history of railway, highway, seaway, and pipeline construction - the research on airports is still underway - and the discussion of each runs chronologically. However, an attempt is made in all cases to look at the nature of demand, entrepreneurial initiative, capital, labour and technology in a general historical way"--Summary, p. vi.
