This biographical sketch and letters of Sallie Holley are unique in that there is little else to be found about her life. She was friends with nearly all of the major figures of the Abolition Movement of the mid-19th century and spent her adult life campaigning for African-American freedom and suffrage. This book about a truly remarkable woman was originally published in 1899. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

The construction of the Erie Canal may truly be described as a major event in the growth of the young United States. At a time when the internal links among the states were scanty, the canal's planners boldly projected a system of transportation that would strike from the eastern seaboard, penetrate the frontier, and forge a bond between the East and the growing settlements of the West. In this comprehensive history, Ronald E. Shaw portrays the development of the canal as viewed by its contemporaries, who rightly saw it as an engineering marvel and an achievement of great economic and social significance not only for New York but also for the nation.
