Surprised at all the historic culmination in the Erie Canal. Did not expect to be reading about religion, but was amazed at the story told.
Historical, religious, but the descriptions of the engineering behind the Canal and the people and communities that built it and lived around it are what held my interest. Started reading for the history, kept reading to understand that little nitch of America and its people so much better...

If you you would like to glimpse a little of the circumstances of Benedict Arnolds decision to turn traitor, then this is a good book to read. It vividly paints a picture of what was one of the revolutionary wars most important battles. If not the most important. The Battle of Lake Champlain. The snubbing of Arnold by Congress after this battle is dumbfounding.
