http:// www.docfilm.com - From Albany to Buffalo, and from 1825 into the 21st Century, the Erie Canal has made American history. Tom Grasso, President of the NY State Canal Society, takes us on a tour of the Canal, past and present, in this film. Before the railroads spanned the continent, waterways were the best way to travel. With Tom, we visit the Ft. Hunter guard lock on the Original Erie, then the Cohoes, Macedon, and Yankee Hill locks and the Schoharie Creek aqueduct on the Enlarged Erie. As Ted Curtis pilots the Sam Patch tour barge, Pete Seeger sings “15 Miles on the Erie Canal”. Musician George Ward accompanies Peter Spier's delightful drawings of life on the Enlarged Erie, and we see the only mule-drawn barge on the system, Miss Apple Grove. As we explore the beauty and history of this great artificial river, we share a vision of its rebirth as a timeless attraction for visitors from around the world. « less
