Description
The Panama Canal And The Daughters Of Danaus is a historical book written by John Bigelow in 1908. The book provides a detailed account of the construction of the Panama Canal, one of the most significant engineering feats of the twentieth century. The author also discusses the political and social implications of the canal's construction, including the impact on the United States' relationship with Latin America.In addition to the canal's history, the book also delves into the mythological story of the Daughters of Danaus. This Greek myth tells the story of fifty sisters who fled their homeland and were forced to carry water in sieves as punishment for their crimes. Bigelow draws parallels between the myth and the challenges faced by the workers who built the canal.The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of engineering, politics, and mythology. It provides a unique perspective on the construction of the Panama Canal and its significance in shaping the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
