Climb aboard a crowded barge in the 1850s and set off on a sweeping journey from Albany to Buffalo. Based on a famous American folk song, this lively book sweeps you along the historic Erie Canal, taking you through bustling, narrow locks and past charming, romantic canal towns. You will have to duck your head under low bridges and watch as the bustling riverbanks fill with produce, workers, and pure excitement. The intricately detailed scenes perfectly capture the busy, noisy atmosphere of 19th-century America on the water. Complete with musical notation, it is a fantastic, foot-tapping ride into an important slice of transportation history.
