Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canals Of Ohio: A History And Tour Guide (Paperback)
Covering all the canals in Ohio, it's a mile by mile history of what was there as well as a guide to the canal relics that remain. It's well researched, well written, well presented, and a darned good read.
