“Life on the Erie Canal 1884-1905”
A first person account by Mrs. Ross Arnett

“Our version of the Canal is so anesthetized.

Do you sometimes wonder about the sight and smells.

Dead mules floating in the water. Mule dung on the towpath.

Cooking smells from the canal boats: coffee, frying, baking.

Sounds of children playing, tug-boaters calling.

Laundry drying on deck.

A far cry from today’s sleek boats and manicured boaters.”
