About the Author

Bob Goller has been following the canal s story since 1962 and has written about it extensively. Here, with more than 200 images assembled from his own collection and from other sources, he takes readers on a historical journey to those countrysides and settlements of northern New Jersey where mule-drawn boats were once a familiar part of the daily scene. This 20th anniversary edition includes a new chapter showing how the old canal continues to intrigue people today, nearly a century after it was abandoned.
