  (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company) JOURNAL E: C & D.
N.P. n.p. 1888-1893 folio original full calf, raised bands on spine, title and decorations gilt-stamped 483+(1) pages
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) and www.nap.usace.army.mil/cd/. 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.

  Cohen, Ben THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY 1600-1999: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover 276 pages
First edition. This work is a new bibliography on the Delaware River and Bay by Ben Cohen, the author of similar bibliographies on the Thames and the Clyde. The author first became interested in the Delaware River when he read D.B. Tyler's The Bay and River Delaware, which refers to the Delaware as the "American Clyde." Tyler writes poetically of the Delaware: "Its upper reaches have the beauty and vigor of youth. When, at Trenton, it turns adventurously westward, growing bigger and straighter, it has the solidity and single-mindedness of maturity. At the end, when it swings southward to lose itself in the greater ocean, it takes on the grandeur and dignity of age conscious of its past." This comparison to the Clyde in Scotland, where Cohen was born, ignited the bibliographer's interest in the Delaware. The Delaware River and Bay bibliography includes chapters on photographs, bridges, maps, fish, ports and commerce of the Delaware, containing hundreds of annotated entries, and concludes with four useful appendices, including one on Delaware River shipwrecks. As with his other books, original title spellings have been retained for historical purposes. Author Ben Cohen, F.R.C.S., is a graduate of Glasgow University and bibliographer of The Thames, 1580-1980: A General Bibliography, first published in 1985, and The River and Firth of Clyde, 1549-1993: A Selective Bibliography, first published in 1995.
