This coloring page shows an early Stagecoach that took passengers between towns and cities.
In Colonial and early America the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nation's natural waterways.
As a result, major towns and settlement centered around the nation's coasts and rivers. A few roads connected major cities, but travel on
them was difficult by horse or stage coach and very time consuming. A series of canals helped connect some inland areas and the Erie canal
was a ground breaking achievement that connected the Hudson river to the Great Lakes region.
