The Erie Canal, as seen here in Pittsford, is one of my favorite waterways. Not as grand as the Missouri River, but certainly the initiator of all the manipulations done to the rivers in the interior. Fie on the dams. But read Ivan Doig's Bucking the Sun for a human view of the building of the Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri in Montana.
