Download or read book The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal written by Mary H. Rubin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-11-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fights of founding fathers to those fought in the supreme court, the pivotal role of this unassuming canal comes to life with historic images and insider insights. With the founding of his Patowmack Company in 1785, George Washington first hoped to make the Potomac River a viable route to America's West. The skirting canals the company constructed around the Great Falls rapids at Harpers Ferry, Seneca, and Little Falls made the Potomac's rushing waters navigable. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was chartered by Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania in 1828 to build a truly useful canal through to the Ohio Valley. President John Quincy Adams turned the first spadeful of dirt on Independence Day of 1828 for what was hailed as the "Great National Project" to connect Georgetown to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The canal created an entire community of people and a way of life different from any other. At the height of operations, over 500 boats plied the 184.5 miles of the canal's waters. After many financial difficulties, competition from railroads, and the devastating effects of the Civil War as well as a flood, the canal went into receivership and was closed in 1924. In 1954, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas brought attention back to the canal with a fight to preserve the natural beauty for local residents. Today, the canal-listed as a National Historical Park-provides thousands with recreational opportunities, scenic nature trails, and gorgeous views.

Download or read book C and O Canal written by Barry Mackintosh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from C and O Canal: The Making of a Park The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park is one of 358 units of the national park system at this writing. The historic C 0 Canal is its primary feature, justifying its designation as a historical park. But hikers and bicyclists along the -mile canal towpath are at least as likely to marvel at the park's natural resources and scenic beauty and enjoy their physical activity as they are to appreciate the canal's history. No other single resource in the system combines such outstanding historical, natural, and recreational values to a greater degree. The canal was built and operated as a commercial transportation artery between 1828 and 1924. Other historians, notably Walter S. Sanderlin in The Great National Project and Harlan D. Unrau in an unpublished National Park Service study, have addressed this period in scholarly detail, and the Park Service is publishing a concise popular account of it, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (official National Park Handbook No. In 1991. The present history contains only the barest summary of the canal's construction and commercial operation. It focuses instead on how the defunct waterway-a financial failure-was adapted to serve a public purpose never envisioned by its builders. Adaptive reuse, a favored technique for saving obsolete historic structures, has never been practiced on a larger scale nor more successfully than in this instance.
