JOURNAL E: C & D.
Massive ledger of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, April 30, 1888 to January 1893. Includes the company's expenditures. Among the entries are many purchases of coal, mostly from the Lehigh Coal and Iron Co., Aurora Coal, and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co. Coal was used to operate the locks used by the canal. The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal connects the Delaware River and the Chesapeake Bay, across the northern end of the Delmarva peninsula. First envisioned in the mid-1600s by Augustine Herman, more serious consideration of the construction of the canal began in the late 18th century. The Chesapeake and Delawre Canal Company was incorporated in 1802 by the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Construction began in 1804 but was halted in 1806 by lack of funding. The company was reorganized in 1822, and construction resumed in 1824. The canal opened for business in 1829, with a lock system in place from its opening until 1919. The company operated the canal until 1919, when the U.S. government purchased it. It is currently operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. See Ralph D. Gray, The National Waterway: a History of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, 1769-1985 (Urbanna: University of Illinois Press, 1989). Marbled pastedowns and endpapers. Boards and spine show minor scuffing and rubbing at edges. Well preserved ledger with all pages filled in with accounting information.
