The construction of the Erie Canal may truly be described as a
major event in the growth of the young United States. At a time
when the internal links among the states were scanty, the canal's
planners boldly projected a system of transportation that would
strike from the eastern seaboard, penetrate the frontier, and forge
a bond between the East and the growing settlements of the West. In
this comprehensive history, Ronald E. Shaw portrays the development
of the canal as viewed by its contemporaries, who rightly saw it as
an engineering marvel and an achievement of great economic and
social significance not only for New York but also for the nation.
