Overview: People living in rural areas are supposed to be independent and self-sufficient, capable of providing their own transportation. Modern Americans move through an urban and suburban landscape, work in a global marketplace, and seldom acknowledge dependence on others. The paper presents a history of the replacement of horse power by horsepower, the construction of rural roads, and the effect of Interstates in rural areas. The rural transportation past involves the horse, but many farmers and rural residents were quick to replace their beloved horses with cars and trucks.
