Ohio & Erie Canal | Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Today in History: On this day in 1837, David Beardsley, Toll Collector on the Ohio & Erie Canal at Cleveland reports that "248 boats, 8 packets, 1792 persons are employed on canal…each boat employs 1 captain, 3 hands, 1 cook and 2 drivers." While the numbers don't seem like much to us today, it changed Ohio and helped settle the nation.
