| Summary: | "Enterprising Waters chronicles the story of the Erie Canal from its inception to today.

When completed in 1825, the engineering marvel unlocked the Western interior for trade and settlement. Boomtowns sprang up along the canal's path and New York City grew to be the nation's most powerful center of international trade.
