Steam Shovels ande the End of Hand Labor
Te transformation from french- era hand decopation to American mechanization was nothing short of revolutionary. The French had relied on thinkands of workers with pics, shovels, ande moving spoil in small buckets that were hauled up indicines by steam winches. Thi method was agonizingly slow andd consumed vatt moving human labour under brutal tropical conditions.
