Summary
"Canals came at that critical period when demands of transportation far superseded the ability of wagons or river rafts to meet them, and before railroads were sufficiently advanced to "fill the bill." They were snake like streams of water which were made parallel to the river. The Susquehanna alone had some 400 miles of canals along it's shores , while another 400 miles followed the banks of it's tributaries." [from the book's forward]Contents include notes on canal construction, boat details and design, canal nomenclature, and discussion of specific waterways : Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal, Conestoga Navigation, Codorus Navigation, the Central Division of the Pennsylvania Canal (Union Canal and Wisconisco Canal), the Susquehanna Division of the Pennsylvania Canal, the Western Branch, and the North Branch.This book is richly illustrated, has a glossary of canal terms, and an index of pictures by town name.
