Accession Number: 00929277
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Erie Canal, connecting Buffalo on Lake Erie with Albany on the Hudson River, brought new dimensions to the planning and building of inland waterways. It not only provided connections for the young nation to expand westward, but also promoted economic activities, improved mobility for goods, and opened new opportunities for passenger travel. As the author shows, the history of the canal offers practical lessons for transportation on the role of education, the use of financing strategies, the impact on economic activities, and the opportunities to serve passengers.
