The building of the Erie Canal in the first quarter of the nineteenth century is one of the greatest and most riveting stories of American ingenuity. Featuring a rich cast of characters, including not only political visionaries like Washington and Jefferson but also a huge platoon of Irish diggers as well as the canal's first travellers, Wedding of the Waters reveals that the twenty-first-century themes of urbanisation, economic growth and globalisation can all be traced to the first great macroengineering venture of American history.

Review:
"Bernstein resists the temptation to say ... that the Erie canal 'changed the world, ' but it did. It is almost impossible to imagine what the country would be like had it not been built. Peter Bernstein does it full justice."
Wedding of the Waters is an important window into a vital and too often neglected period in the American past --Walter Russell Mead
