Shipped with USPS ALONG THE ERIE CANAL - 39 minutes long From Albany to Buffalo, and from 1825 into the 21st Century, the Erie Canal has made American history. Tom Grasso, President of the NY State Canal Society, takes us on a grand tour of the Canal, past and present. At Fort Edward and Whitehall, Tom explores the strategic importance of waterways in the French and Indian war, the Revolution, and the War of 1812, and so the need for an interior water route across the Appalachians. With Tom, we visit the Fort Hunter guard lock on the original Erie, the Cohoes, Macedon, and Yankee Hill locks and the Schoharie Creek Aqueduct on the enlarged Erie. Along the way, musician George Ward accompanies Peter Spier's delightful drawings of life on the Enlarged Erie, Ted Curtis pilots the barge "Sam Patch", and we see the only mule-drawn barge on the system, "Miss Apple Grove". Starting with the magnificent Lock 17 at Little Falls, Tom travels with tug boats and tour boats along the Barge Canal - the third enlargement of the Canal, completed in 1918. With Peter Wiles on his 1920's yacht "Trident", and with Dan Wiles on the "Emita II" tour boat, Tom explores the beauty and history of this great artificial river and its rebirth as a timeless attraction for visitors from around the world.
