Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of reports submitted by the commissioners appointed to lead a survey for canal routes within Upper Canada. The survey was mandated by an 1821 act of the provincial legislature, with the aim of improving water transportation and unlocking the economic potential of the region. The report provides a comprehensive account of the surveyed routes, including detailed estimates for the construction of a canal between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The commissioners also considered potential routes to connect the St. Lawrence River with the Ottawa River and Lake Huron. This ambitious project, if completed, would have facilitated trade and spurred economic growth throughout the province. The report reflects the optimism and ambition of the early 19th century, when canals were seen as essential infrastructure for economic development. The commissioners' insights into the challenges and opportunities of canal construction in Upper Canada remain relevant today, and this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation and infrastructure in North America.
