Book excerpt: If you have read this far through this adventurous historical lesson, youre now an authority on the Ohio & Erie Canal. A great effort went into making this book readable, enjoyable, and accurate. This book was inspired years ago as a child playing next to the Ohio & Erie Canal. Years later, my interest unfolded into such marvelous events beginning in the Flats of Cleveland. This is where my walk began, heading south towards the Ohio River. In the 156 hour walk, I got to see the same sights the canalers experienced nearly 200 years ago. I walked into the back woods and many out-of-the-way places. I would be certain that since the final days of the canal brought on by the flood of 1913, I am the only person who has walked its distance. To sum it up, it was pure adventure, excitement, and fulfillment.
