In a time before trains, automobiles, and airplanes, Americans needed a quicker and cheaper way to travel and ship goods across the Appalachian Mountains.
The Erie Canal explains how a canal was built as a solution to this problem. The Erie Canal, which opened in 1825, connects Lake Erie with Albany, New York, which is located along the Hudson River. Colorful photographs, maps, and artwork from the past will keep students engaged throughout the book.
