Excerpt from The Wabash Trade Route in the Development of the Old Northwest One Of the most evident facts in the history Of the French in America is the influence exerted by various waterways in distributing and directing the course of their settlements. W-hen France Obtained control of the lower St. Lawrence, its possession Of the entire basin and Of the Mississippi valley was a logical sequence. With Quebec established, the empire of New France became inevitable. The great waterways led the hardy voyagers continually further inland, though the, implacable hostility of the Iro quois Indians restricted them for a time to the more northern water routes.

All but forgotten except as a part of nostalgic lore, American canals during the first half of the nineteenth century provided a transportation network that was vital to the development of the new nation. They lowered transportation costs, carried a vast grain trade from western farms to eastern ports, delivered Pennsylvania coal to New York, and carried thousands of passengers at what seemed effortless speed. Along their courses sprang up new towns and cities and with them new economic growth. Canals for a Nation brings together in one volume a survey of all the major American canals. Here are accounts of innovative engineering, of near heroic figures who devoted their lives to canals, and of canal projects that triumphed over all the uncertainties of the political process.
