History Of The Barge Canal Of New York State (1922)

""History of the Barge Canal of New York State"" is a book written by Noble Earl Whitford and first published in 1922. The book provides a comprehensive account of the construction and development of the barge canal system in New York State, which was a major engineering feat of the early 20th century. The canal system, which included the Erie Canal and several other waterways, was designed to connect the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean, and played a crucial role in the economic growth of New York State and the United States as a whole. The book covers the history of the canal system from its inception in the early 19th century to its completion in the early 20th century, and includes detailed descriptions of the engineering challenges faced by the builders of the canal, as well as the social and economic impact of the canal on the communities it served.
