They know everyone who lives along and works on the canals, and the reader meets many of them in this book.The year 1862 was a fateful one in the history of the Lehigh River and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. Young Wilhelm and his family experienced dramatic events that changed the canal forever.
