About
"In The Forestport Breaks, Michael Doyle illuminates a fresh and fascinating chapter in the colorful history of the Erie Canal. This is the shadowy side of its history, the world of political rot and plotting men, and it extended well beyond one rough and tumble town. This scandal marked the only time New York officials charged men with conspiring to destroy canal property, but it was also illustrative of the widespread rascality encrusting the canal." "And then there is the family intrigue. As Doyle uncovered the rise and fall of Forestport, he was also discovering that the trail of culpability led to members of his own family tree."--Jacket.
