For 35 years I traveled the general route of the canal making sales calls. Sure; I knew about the canal a little bit. Historical marker knowledge; nothing more. This easy readable book has enlightened me to all the facets of the canal and what it meant. I had no idea so many locks were needed. Each lock spawned a mill; a store; a saloon; a town. Water powered economy. Even if you dont read the book the hundreds of pictures are worth the price. Wonderful peek at the past. Party boats; freight boats; gambling boats; passenger boats and repair boats. Swim min holes and fish in holes. Heck; a catfish even saved the day. Good stuff; indeed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great ReadBy ElizaOliviaExcellent book! Couldnt put it down. Very interesting stuff.
