Earth, Sand-Clay, and Gravel Roads (1917)

Earth, Sand-Clay, and Gravel Roads is a comprehensive guide to the construction and maintenance of rural roads, originally published in 1917 by civil engineer Charles Henry Moorefield. The book covers the basics of road building, including the importance of proper drainage, the selection and preparation of materials, and the use of machinery and tools. It also includes detailed instructions for constructing specific types of roads, such as earth and sand-clay roads, as well as advice on maintaining roads in good condition. Throughout the book, Moorefield emphasizes the importance of practicality and economy in road building, and provides numerous illustrations, diagrams, and photographs to illustrate his points.
