This book depicts the history of New York State's Erie Canal from its conception in the early 1800s to its decline in the twentieth century. Kendall provides an informative account of the once controversial project connecting Albany to Lake Erie. Archival photographs and reproductions enhance the engaging text.

People's History series.
A well-written overview of American women's struggle for equal rights from colonial times, when outspoken women were accused of witchcraft, to the present. Although this subject can't be done justice in so few pages (only the last chapter discusses feminism's second wave and beyond), there's much to be learned from the book's anecdotes, celebrations of lesser-known feminists, and sepia-toned photos and drawings. Bib., ind.
