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.

General Narrative Although European settlers had encountered the region on prior occasions, legend grants September 14, 1609, a day of particular reckoning in Westchester County history: the day Henry Hudson left anchorage at Spuyten Duyvil and traveled almost the entire Westchester shore.1 Others followed— especially from the Netherlands, whose traders took advantage of the rich flora and fauna of the land.2 Piece by piece, European explorers mapped and explored its features. For example, in 1614, Dutch explorer Adriaen Block became the first European mariner to enter the Long Island Sound.3 For a time, the Dutch West India Company maintained (on paper, at least) exclusive trade privileges on the shore of the Hudson.4 The first English vessel, meanwhile, arrived in 1619.5 Attempts to establish formal settlements in the region were slow in coming.

  • 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.
