Wedding of the Waters is an important window into a vital and too often neglected period in the American past -- Walter Russell Mead (Foreign Affairs)

Synopsis
The account of how the Erie Canal forever changed the course of American history--Provided by publisher., The building of the Erie Canal, like the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal, is one of the greatest and most riveting stories of American ingenuity. Best-selling author Peter Bernstein presents the story of the canal's construction against the larger tableau of America in the first quarter-century of the 1800s. Examining the social, political, and economic ramifications of this mammoth project, Bernstein demonstrates how the canal's creation helped prevent the dismemberment of the American empire and knit the sinews of the American industrial revolution. Featuring a rich cast of characters, including not only political visionaries like Washington, Jefferson, van Buren, and the architect's most powerful champion, Governor DeWitt Clinton, but also a huge platoon of Irish diggers as well as the canal's first travelers, Wedding of the Waters reveals that the twenty-first-century themes of urbanization, economic growth, and globalization can all be traced to the first great macroengineering venture of American history.

    As of the time of this review in 2025, I ordered and received a 2003 Lexus Owners Manual with leather jacket in pristine condition (even better than described :-), at a reasonable and competitive price, in a timely manner and well packaged. In addition, despite errors on my end, as buyer, I received prompt, friendly, professional and timely customer service from the seller, rectifying my error without complaint or taking advantage of me! 10 out of 10 stars!

    Got the parts and finally got around to installing them today. One of them is broken out of the box and they are not exactly the correct color but I thought they were the correct color when i ordered they were described as grey but not. I have included 2 pictures to show color difference and the broken part, with this part broken it will not stay in place. The original is on the right in both pictures. Parts arrived quickly and packaged well. I just delayed opening the box and installing.
