Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of the Wabash and Erie Canal on the development of the Old Northwest from its origins as a natural trade route used by European explorers in the 17th century, through its strategic importance during the colonial era and the War of 1812, to its role as a major transportation artery in the 19th century. The author shows how the canal's development was influenced by a combination of natural factors, technological advances, and political and economic forces, and explores its impact on settlement patterns, agricultural production, and the growth of cities and towns in the region. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the complex interplay between transportation infrastructure and economic development in the history of the United States.
