Fingers point the way on the large map to New York, Boston,

Chicago’s transportation system gained significant importance beginning
with the building of Illinois and Michigan Canal which connected the
Mississippi River with Lake Michigan. Cattle, hogs, grain and other
goods were grown and traded in Chicago and many branch manufacturers
such as millers, slaughtering houses, packing, rendering and even
candle making, in addition to brewing and distilling were in full swing
during this time. Railroad growth was stimulated by this and the
massive immigration to the Indiana territory during the 1850s. Standard
Oil was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1870 by Rockefeller and
subsequently the Indiana and Illinois Central was chartered in 1853 and
completed in 1857. In 1875 it became part of the Cincinnati and
Indianapolis& Western Railway. Condition: Very good, left and
