From the Publisher
"Landscape photographer Ranney has produced a fine collection celebrating a vital American transportation route and the project to preserve its historic sites and natural beauty. His penetrating black-and-white photographs along the I&M Canal Corridor illuminate striking contrasts in the cultural geography of the area connecting Lake Michigan with the Mississippi River. [His] images...gently urge readers to look closer at seemingly ordinary places, whose hidden histories can enrich the present. Harris's essays emphasize the tremendous economic impact that a 97-mile shipping highway had on the region and the nation, including its challenge to the Erie Canal and its role in transforming Chicago from a hamlet into a thriving city. The book's ultimate message is that past and present may co-exist harmoniously, as the 450-square-mile project known as the I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor has proved. Where commercial water traffic once dominated, children now play ice hockey; converted towpaths provide hiking and bicycling trails. The words and pictures offer constant reminders that certain places can inspire or serve as healing forces, and perhaps more important, that routes and treks--ways of reaching places--have greatly influenced a collective American identity."
