Title: Measuring america
Product review: This is an interesting book about how America was surveyed. It describes the hard work of accuratly surveying a contenent, and also the frauds and shoddy work as well; and the problems created by bad survey jobs. You learn why streets are as wide as they are and why blocks are sized as they are, all based upon the survor's chain. It is a good read if you are technically inclined.
