What the creator captured
Travel Channel was deeply moved by the living history of the Erie Canal, particularly the personal stories and 'spud sandwiches' shared by retired captain Steve Wonder. The creator found the combination of engineering marvels like the Richmond Aqueduct and local culinary traditions like the 'white hot' sausages in Lions to be the true heart of the American experience. The journey highlighted how the canal's past continues to shape the identity and memories of the people living along its banks today.
