DESCRIPTION:
The New York State Barge Canal was opened on May 15, 1915. This is the history of the people who built the canal and who operated tugs and barges along this important water route through New York State.
An excellent, informative book This book is excellent if you are looking for the history of the NY State Canals. It also shares the life of the men who worked the canals and that is what is the most interesting part.. "Good book for the historian" according to Tim Horton. We live by the barge canal and found this interesting reading. We recognized many landmarks that were mentioned. I would recommend.
