The Erie Canal

CREDITS: Producer, Morton Schindel; illustrator, Peter Spier; photographer and editor, John B. Schindel.
ThesisSUMMARY: In this iconographic film, the text and illustrations of the book by Peter Spier help to present a folk song describing a trip down the Erie Canal from Albany to Buffalo in the 1850's. The folk song is sung with gusto as we squeeze through narrow locks, duck under low bridges and glide through the countryside.
