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 The C&O Canal written by Dorothy Camagna and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already obsolete by the time construction finished in 1850, the C&O Canal nevertheless remained in operation for seventy-four years, until 1924. By then, several devastating floods had sent the canal into receivership, and the canaller's way of life vanished due to competition from other forms of transportation and shipping, lack of funds, and natural disasters. Yet in 1828, when the young nation depended on its waterways, the C&O Canal served to link the port of Georgetown with Pittsburgh, thereby connecting the Chesapeake Bay and the Ohio River. The canal's inauguration realized the dream of speculators such as George Washington and others to connect the coastal plain, via the Potomac River, with the western frontier. Nowadays history and nature are jointly preserved along the canal's length. In "The C&O Canal", Dorothy Camagna's superb photography and narrative present a compelling account of the canal's mission, structures, and unique way of life. From tidewater Georgetown to Cumberland, the canal's ultimate terminus in the Allegheny Plateau, "The C&O Canal" brilliantly illustrates the allure of both the former waterway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.
