Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Black River Canal documents in images how a manmade river transformed a region. This upper New York State canal was an improbable engineering success. In 1825, DeWitt Clinton proposed construction of a canal that would link the Erie Canal at Rome with the Black River at Lyons Falls. The idea… was well received, but the obstacles were great. The canal would have to run uphill. In the end, the 35-mile overland canal required a record 109 locks to negotiate a rise and fall of 1,079 feet. Construction was authorized in 1836, and against all odds, the Black River Canal was fully operational in 1855. The canal brought a measure of prosperity to an isolated region of the state and promoted development of a wood products industry that continues to this day.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Black Cotton Stockings; compilation and comments by Ron Ryder; photographic collaboration by Jim Fynmore; published by Country Books, Boonville, NY, by the Willard Press, 1954. From the blurb - Black Cotton Stockings is a picture book of a community that is as ty…pically American as the Christmas tree. Contained herein are 300 photographic masterpieces of nineteenth and early twentieth century life and the present. Part one of the book deals with life in the country from 1860 to 1920 - an era often spoken and written of but seldom captured in such realistic pictures. A majority are taken from glass plates uncovered after months of research. Part two, with many fine camera studies, shows the transformation to a modern and quiet community. The evolving parade of events has brought startling changes. This large format book is in near-fine condition, in a very good dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. Jim Fynmore (illustrator).
