Trade Review
A gliding packet boat of a book that tours the history of the canal's 92 working years... With 54 sepia-toned photographs, Kytle's 'informal history' makes a worthy introduction to the making of the C&O Canal. Washington Post The reminiscences are great... the best ever printed relating to the C & O canal. Hagerstown Herald-Mail Elizabeth Kytle's book contains all the research we've never gotten around to doing. She has transformed the mass of assorted political, financial, and economic data into readable chapters that cover the canal from its conception by President George Washington through 1971 when it became a national historic park.
