Hardcover. Reprint. Fourth printing, 1972 [stated]. 207, [1] p. 26 cm. Illustrations, Maps, Portraits. The author was born in 1894 at Williamsport, MD, near the Conococheague aqueduct of the C&O Canal. He married the daughter of a canal boat captain. From WIkipedia: "The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, abbreviated as the C&O Canal, and occasionally referred to as the "Grand Old Ditch, " operated from 1831 until 1924 parallel to the Potomac River in Maryland from Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland. The last 50 miles to Cumberland opened in 1850. The original plan called for the canal to extend to the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, but this extension was never built. The total length of the canal is about 184.5 miles (296.9 km). The elevation change of 605 ft (184 m) was accommodated with 74 canal locks. To enable the canal to cross relatively small streams, over 150 culverts were built. The crossing of major streams required the construction of 11 aqueducts. The canal also extends through the 3, 118 ft (950 m) Paw Paw Tunnel. The principal cargo in the latter years was coal from the Allegheny Mountains. The canal way is now maintained as a park, with a linear trail following the old towpath, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park." Very good in good dust jacket. Signed by author.
