Great Kanawha Navigation

Rate this book
"The Great Kanawha Navigation is a history of efforts undertaken to improve West Virginia's Kanawha River to the point where it could be controlled and serve as a major year-round artery of trade and commerce. It is a good example of the internal improvements, first advocated in the early 19th century, that would foster growth and help perfect the new nation. This book is an important and highly detailed case study of this project, bringing together literally all the data surrounding it for the first time." -- William E. Worthington, National Museum of American History
