The technological marvel of its age, the Erie Canal grew out of a sudden fit of inspiration. Proponents didn't just dream; they built a 360-mile waterway entirely by hand and largely through wilderness. As excitement crackled down its length, the canal became the scene of the most striking outburst of imagination in American history. Zealots invented new religions and new modes of living. The Erie Canal made New York the financial capital of America and brought the modern world crashing into the frontier.

A very interesting historical sketch of the early 1800's, touching on American dreams/ingenuity, religion, politics, sex, drugs, westward expansion and engineering - all of which set the stage for the civil war. Not much has changed in the past two hundred years it seems. Well, maybe a few things... Really enjoyed the book and recommend it. Even though I don't like big companies monopolizing the book industry, the audible version was read quite well.
