The Erie Canal: A Brief History
"The Erie Canal was the engineering marvel of the 19th Century." This is an account of its planning and development, including the initial idea from New York's then-Governor DeWitt Clinton, the canal's role in increasing commerce and westward migration, and its designation as a national heritage corridor. The site provides a link to a longer account of this history and to the music for the Erie Canal song. From the New York State Canal System.
