Viac o knihe

Set in 1790, the narrative explores America's struggle with debt post-independence and the necessity of establishing a uniform measurement system for land west of the Ohio River. The story highlights the complexities of choosing from 100,000 different units in use at the time. It focuses on the pivotal role of one man's surveying chain in shaping the American Customary System, which became the last traditional measurement system globally, leaving a lasting impact on land, cities, and American culture.
