Y. Communications to the editor may be sent to the address above PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The William Byrd Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia Foreword The editor, in constructing this work originally conceived by Mrs. Ben Hill Doster, who was stricken before she could assemble all the foundation stones, wishes to acknowledge in deep gratitude her fundamental work on the Doster Genealogy. A sketch of her life appears in Branch No. 4. Without her patient labors the Doster history would be, as in so many American families, a mass of scattered fragments, many limited to two or three generations and not connected with others. But her death inter­ vened. In tribute to this lovely old lady, and in justice to future generations to whom she vainly hoped to leave her memorial, the editor has assumed the imposing duty of fulfilling her dream. It has been possible to set other collections of material upon her diligent groundwork, to add occupations and addresses and explanatory data, to fit innumerable items into the abandoned framework and to end, after years of work, with a fairly complete structure. A task of this kind is never really finished and items are constantly being added. But the aim has been, first, to fit the family into its background of history and, secondly, to provide a pattern of continuity. This in turn will offer answers in some degree to the natural questions: where did the Dosters come from, who were they, why did they leave, where did they go and who are they today?

It took 7 years of labor, slowly clawing shovels of earth from the ground in a 363-mile trek across the wilderness of New York State. Through the use of many references, this paper attempts to describe this remarkable construction project. Additionally, it describes the early operation of the canal and its impact on the daily life on or near the canal‘s winding path across the state.

  • Andrew Bartow and the Cement That Made the Erie Canal
    ANDREW BARTOW AND THE CEMENT THAT MADE THE ERIE CANAL GERARD KOEPPEL ULY 1817 WAS A GOOD MONTH for DeWitt Clinton. On the first of July, he was inaugurated in Albany as gover­ nor of New York. On July 4th, ground was broken outside the village of Rome for the Erie Canal, the great water­ way project that would make New York the Empire State and New York City the commercial center of the western world, and would give Clinton, as the canal's strongest advocate, his most enduring fame. Earlier in the year, Clinton had been elected president of the New-York Historical Society, succeed­ cou­ ing the late Gouverneur Morris, his long-time collaborator in the Ca:­ Erie dream. Clinton had already followed Morris at the head of the state canal commission, on which both had served since its creation of ::r- cem at the beginning of the decade. On the eighteenth ofJuly 1817, Clinton did a bit of routine canal business that proved fortuitous for both the canal and for American engineering. He hired his friend Andrew Bartow as the canal commission's agent for securing land grants along the canal line from Utica west to the Seneca River, the portion that had been approved by the legislature.1 Bartow (1773 - 1861), described in contemporary accounts as "sprightly, pleasing," "genial and frank," and "by no means parsimonious in communicating," saddled his horse, and over the ensuing months gained voluntary grants from 90 percent of the farmers and other landowners he visited.2 The following spring, the grateful commissioners named Andrew Bartow their agent for all purchases of timber, plank, sand, and lime neces­ sary for canal construction.3 In this role, Bartow developed an American hydraulic cement, a discovery that enabled the comple­ tion of New York's canal and the birth of the country's canal age.

  • National Significance and Historical Context
    2.1 2 National Signifi cance and Historical Context NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERVIEW Th e Erie Canal is the most successful and infl uential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. It facilitated and shaped the course of settlement of the North- east, Midwest, and Great Plains, knit together the Atlantic Seaboard with the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, solidifi ed New York City’s place as the young nation’s principal seaport and commercial center, and became a central element forging the national identity. New York’s canal system, including the Erie Canal and its laterals – principally the Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca Canals – opened the interior of the continent. Built through the only low-level gap between the Appalachian Mountain chain and the Adirondack Mountains, the Erie Canal provided one of the principal routes for migration and an economical and reliable means for transporting agricultural products and manufactured goods between the American interior, the eastern seaboard, and Europe. Th e Erie Canal was a heroic feat of early 19th century engineering and construc- tion, and at 363 miles long, more than twice the length of any canal in Europe. Photo: It was without precedent in North America, designed and built through sparsely Postcard image of canal basin in Clinton Square, Syracuse, ca. 1905 settled territory by surveyors, engineers, contractors, and laborers who had to learn much of their craft on the job. Engineers and builders who got their start on New York’s canals went on to construct other canals, railroads, and public water supplies throughout the new nation.

But 150 years ago, before the invention of the internal combustion engine, before steamships, and before the advent of railroads, waterways were the key to internal transportation. A growing industrial economy where fewer and fewer farmers were self-sufficient, and more and more goods were produced outside the home, led to a need for an adequate internal transportation system. In Connecticut, as in other states, attempts were made to connect the isolated interior settlements with the Curriculum Unit 81.ch.04 1 of 23 more established commercial centers. The Farmington Canal is an example of one such attempt.
