Re: (erielack) D&H Canal and Gravity Railroad, Honesdale, Pa



Ken:

Sorry for the delay.  I planned to write back over the weekend but
didn't get the opportunity where I had the book and my laptop fired up
at the same moment.  In addition, I'm leaving Friday for a 10 day
business trip to China so time has been at a premium.  I just went
through over 100 emails so I haven't been keeping up with the ELHS list
in the last 10 days or so.


The book is:
"The Delaware & Hudson Canal and the Gravity Railroad"
written by Matthew M. Osterberg
published by Arcadia Publishing
ISBN 0-7385-1087-4
Library of Congress Catalog Card # 2002108390


If you do get the book, you'll notice that the photos of the canal
appear to be almost "highway-like" in their broad sweeps and graded
towpaths.  It reminds me of driving up NY Rt 17 through the Sullivan and
Delaware Counties from Rockland County up to Binghamton, NY [before I
moved to Binghamton].


Enjoy!
