Items related to The Ohio Canals: Second Edition
Synopsis
From Cleveland to Portsmouth and Toledo to Cincinnati, two great canals and numerous connections and feeders laced Ohio with a thousand miles of waterways in the years before the Civil War. They were a major force in transforming Ohio from a frontier society to a leading agricultural and commercial state, but they were doomed by the arrival of the railroads. Today, they are all but vanished, except for the preservation efforts of some historical societies.
The Ohio canals live again through the eye and hand of artist-historian Frank N. Wilcox. From his years of walking the canal ways and exploring the broken locks to searching old newspapers and musty records, Wilcox built this record. Through his art and writing he tells the story of canal location and construction; guides us through the intricacies of locks and their workings; and restores for today’s readers the texture and flavor of this colorful era.
Lynn Metzger and Peg Bobel reintroduce us to Wilcox’s classic work that pioneered today’s canal preservation movement.

About the Author
Frank N. Wilcox (1887–1964) was an instructor at the Cleveland Institute of Art and was a central figure in the “Cleveland School” of artists, USA. Best known for his watercolours of the rural America of his boyhood, his works are represented in leading museums and collections across the country. His love of the outdoors led him into explorations of Ohio’s past and much of his work reflects that interest and research.
