This article brings fresh perspective to a fascinating and positive moment in history that for many of us may have been only a vague awareness from long forgotten high school history. The transformative consequences of this canal provide a beautiful illustration of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit working through the gospel. The clarity and insight of this essay bring inspiration to our day. Admirable accomplishments, such as the Erie Canal, deserve our greater attention and understanding. But greater still the amazing work of Christ on the cross for you and for me, for all of humanity. Thank you very much for all the consistent applied history that you bring us every day!!
Interesting read once again. I didn't realize the length of the Erie Canal.

Between the horse-drawn wagon and the railroad was the era of the canals. The techno marvel of their day. It's good to remember them.
I was curious about what an early 18th century stump puller might have looked like... see one here: https://www.alamy.com/herkimer-new-york-september-17-2020-closeup-shot-of-erie-canal-stump-puller-monument-sign-image385935703.html
Great find! I was curious about that myself but ran out of time to look it up. Thanks for sharing.
