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.

Book excerpt: "The story of the Cheasapeake and Ohio Canal during the Civil War is a tale of the company's struggle to operate a transportation line in one of the of the country's major theaters of war. The canal's position along Maryland's southern border with Virginia left it in a unique position to experience the war first-hand, and indeed records show that the company was drawn into the conflict within days after the surrender of Fort Sumter ... An examination of the canal company during this period allows readers to see how the company responded to the many threats it faced, including the seizure and destruction of its property, military interference in its operations, and a chronic shortage of operating funds. Existing records are such that on some occasions the reader can determine how the canal company responded to a challenge -- such as a Confederate invasion -- on nearly a day-to-day basis, providing a glimpse into the operations of a company during the Civil War that few other accounts provide"--P. xv.
