Good Roads An Issue Seventy five Years Ago
The article recounts William Gregg founder of Graniteville arguing for plank roads over railroads in the mid-1800s. It notes plank roads as cheaper and suited to farmers with many horses, contrasts with rail costs, and reflects on the 1864 New York plank road first and its spread, while acknowledging plank roads later failed to compete with rail and highway progress. Gregg’s Charleston to Abbeville plank road proposal links to the South Carolina Railroad and regional geography.
