- Summary:
- Cairo. Rome. Enterprise. Metropolis. These are but a few of the grand names given to early settlements along the lower Ohio River. So why didn't a major city develop from at least one of these early visions? Historian Darrel Bigham reveals the complex forces that shaped these little places in America. His intimate knowledge of the area discloses fundamental truths about the American dream and how human decisions affected a town's prosperity. 40 illustrations.
