When the Canal was built towns all along the route from Buffalo to Albany prospered from the revenue and the attraction the Canal brought with it. Whether the Canal was being used for business people, immigrants, settlers of the region, or tourists, the border-towns all had some appeal to these persons. After some time the state was continually asked to expand the Canal from the original route to include connecting canal routes. However, the same towns along the route from Buffalo to Albany had already been established along the lines of the original canal. These towns would need to be relocated in order to obey these new requests. This presented a major problem because the people in these towns had formed a life around the Canal and many of them made their income based of the Canal. The inhabitants of the towns changed their mentality from not wanting the Canal to invade on their lives, to it being an essential part of their lives they depended upon.

The transformation of this region because of the Erie Canal is organized around six topics, each of which is covered by a chapter. They include the; Visions of Progress, the Triumph of Art over Nature, Reducing Distance and Time, the Politics of Land and Water, the Politics of Business, and the Perils of Progress.

In fact, there was an Act passed by the Senate and the House in Congress specifically for this purpose. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act protects river such as the Tamassee River in the book and the river that it is based off of in North Carolina known as the Chatooga River. In section 1 (b) of this act it states “It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” Along with that, not only can rivers be used for the enjoyment of future generations but protection of nature also leads to the protection of natural resources so they’re available for them.

Often this extensive usage has led to foul, pollution-blackened streams and degraded industrial shorelines. Occasionally particularly since ecological disintegration has become the focus international alarm, intelligent efforts have been made to grapple with the myriad problems of urban river use. The Meewasin Valley Project was a product of the local expression of a global concern for the environment that emerged in the 1970s. While much of the South Saskatchewan remained in a natural state, threats to long-term water supply and quality and to the integrity of the watershed were evident. People had become more aware of the accumulated consequences of the thousands of actions, large and small, that shape something like a river valley. A lot of ideas for the vision came from Regina’s Wascana Park. Raymond Moriyama was commissioned by the Saskatchewan department of Municipal Affairs to orchestrate the vision. According to Moriyama, “We were determined to become students of the land. We listened to the quiet voice of the 10,000-year-old, but still young river.

In 1952 a fire caused a million dollars’ worth of damage to river boats and riverfront businesses. On June 22, 1969 another river fire engulfed the river, this time the media coverage captured the attention of the nation. Time Magazine described the Cuyahoga as the river that “oozes rather that flows” and in which a person “doesn’t drown but decays”. Many of the residents of Cleveland accepted the pollution as a necessary evil because they had jobs at these factories. This article helped the people of Cleveland pass a 100 million dollar bond to clean up the Cuyahoga River. Much of the industry that both made Cleveland rich and caused its river to burn may never be coming back. The costs of these fires were tremendous, but it did help lead to laws being passed to prevent this from happening in other rivers. One such law was the Clean Water Act of 1972.
