A little girl named Molly lives on a boat and goes up an down a canal

[Miles]

This question is to help a friend. She remembers reading a cute little library book about a young girl named Molly who lives on boat and travels up and down a canal. Does anyone know of the book and perhaps the title?

Is it possibly "Molly's Hannibal: A Story of the Erie Canal"?

Here are a couple of descriptions:

http://formulus.com/booksyes/books/_C... - "In the 1870’s, Molly is the only girl driver on the Erie Canal, and her friend Hannibal is the sturdy mule who pulls the boat."

http://www.eriecanal.org/books.html - "A story for children of a young girl "hoggee" and her mule which pulled the family's canal boat."
