Book Description
Before 1914, traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast meant going by land across the entire United States. To go by sea involved a long journey around South America and north along the Pacific Coast. But then, in a dangerous and amazing feat of engineering, a 48-mile-long channel was dug through Panama, creating the world’s most famous shortcut: the Panama Canal!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pacific Ocean in History: Papers and Addresses Presented at the Panama-Pacific Historical Congress Held at San Francisco, Berkeley and Palo Alto, California, July 19-23, 1915 The holding of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915 brought about the meeting of many national and international congresses upon the Pacific Coast. Among them was the Panama-Pacific Historical Congress, of which the volume now submitted to the public presents the record. Students and teachers of history living upon the Pacific Coast had long been desirous of keeping in closer touch with their colleagues in other parts of the United States, and more than one invitation had been extended to the American Historical Association to hold its annual meeting at San Francisco. The great majority of the regular attendants at the meetings of the Association felt, however, that it was inadvisable to attempt to take the Association so far away at the time of its regular annual session during the Christmas vacation, and at the meeting in New Orleans in 1903 it was resolved instead to authorize the establishment of a Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association. This Branch has held annual meetings and has been a potent force in maintaining friendly relations between historical scholars upon the Pacific Coast, while the fact that it was organized as a Branch of the national Association has emphasized the solidarity of historians throughout the country. The establishment of the Branch did not entirely meet the wishes of Pacific Coast historians, who still desired to make their work and themselves better known to their colleagues in the East and Middle West. The idea of holding an International Exposition to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal was first suggested in 1910, and the members of the Pacific Coast Branch eagerly seized on the idea in the hope that such an Exposition might give an opportunity for the long-desired meeting of the American Historical Association on the Pacific Coast.
