520 1 $a"Bond of Union tells the complete, sweeping story of the creation of the Erie Canal, and of the memorable characters who turned a visionary plan into a successful venture. It traces the canal's history from its proposal in 1807 by Jesse Hawley, a western New York grain merchant in debtors' prison who wrote a series of newspaper essays about the need for the waterway, to the its completion eighteen years later when it connected a seaboard nation to its vast continental interior." "In his narrative, New York historian Gerard Koeppel unearths major new findings about the construction of the canal and the many surprising twists and turns along the path to completing the enterprise that would change America's destiny. Bond of Union provides a unique perspective on America's self-perception as an empire destined to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific."--BOOK JACKET.
