Description: *COAL BOATS TO TIDEWATER by Manville B. Wakefield *Route of the Delaware & Hudson Canal and Gravity Railroads *First edition, inscribed by the author to the previous owner *Published by Steingart Associates *1965 *Measures 10 1/4" x 7 1/4" with 224 pages *Taken from the dust jacket flap: The Delaware and Hudson Canal skirted ghostly swamps, crossed stone arch bridges and suspension aqueducts, wound along the base of towering cliffs and clung to the edge of narrow defiles. It followed a route that challenged the engineering genius of its day. "Coal Boats To Tidewater" is a study in depth of regions clarified by more than thirty maps and over two hundred photographs. This searching and penetrating, graphic and literary record, is not only of the great days of boating and gravity railroading, but of the gaunt skeletal remains of today. It documents the lock ruins and the present day canal-side structures for those who walk the towpaths of the future and like to search out the weed-grown folkways of the past. *The condition of this hardcover book is very good.
