Old Canal Days
Introduction
"These simple, human interest stories from real life, written in every day vernacular may afford pleasure and relaxation to the great majority of readers in the leisurely perusal of these volumes as they did the author in their preparation.
It is the author's hope that the readers may enjoy knowing the interesting, likeable characters, herein portrayed, of real flesh and blood which inspired him to record some of their activities of other days, perhaps gone forever.
It was an era of good fellowship, of kindly deeds, of toleration, of boundless human sympathy and good will.
It was necessarily so, because of the many close contacts and relations of whole communities, with the individuals depending upon each other economically and socially, and the companionship of good, loyal, jolly friends was one of the greatest compensations."
