The Ohio & Erie Canal

People who lived and worked on and alongside the Ohio & Erie Canal had a vocabulary all their own. Originally published in 1995, this glossary was the first to list in one source the terms used to describe the boats, crews, locks, equipment, and canals. Terry K. Woods provides a dictionary of primary terms selected from official reports as well as terms taken from interviews with former boatmen. This new edition includes additional terms and a new introduction detailing the canal's route-elevation, engineering, locks, feeders, and the businesses and communities along the way.
