The Artificial River reveals the human dimension of the story of the Erie Canal. Carol Sheriff's extensive, innovative archival research shows the varied responses of ordinary people-farmers, businessmen, government officials, tourists, workers-to this major environmental, social, and cultural transformation in the early life of the Republic. Winner of Best Manuscript Award from the New York State Historical Association " The Artificial River is deeply researched, its arguments are both subtle and clear, and it is written with grace and an engagingly light touch. The book merits a wide readership." -- Paul Johnson, The Journal of American History, Rediscover the Gems of Antiquity in The Artificial River Woven from a rich tapestry of research, The Artificial River is more than just a historical account of the Erie Canal--it encapsulates a pivotal era in United States history, especially the monumental strides in engineering, commerce, and socio-cultural shifts between the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Join Carol Sheriff as she vividly paints the human endeavor behind the making of the Erie Canal--an artificial river that irrevocably changed landscapes and lives. This skillfully crafted narrative opens the door to the past, inviting you on a fascinating journey through time. The Artificial River immerses you in the lives of ordinary yet extraordinary individuals--farmers, businessmen, tourists, and government officials--who stood at the forefront of this significant transformation. The Erie Canal wasn't just a waterway-it was a lifeline that laid the foundation for the capitalist democracy we know today. The Artificial River is a cleverly bound chronicle of American commerce and the spirit of public good--one that's sure to captivate history enthusiasts and casual readers alike.
