var str = 'Hill was the son of a well-known commercial lithographer, and was only 17 years old when he created this and other watercolors of the Erie Canal with an eye toward eventual publication. That never came to pass, but as historical documents the somewhat stylized paintings still are invaluable, in this case just five years after the canal opened.
Here, we see two vessels passing each other along an unspecified stretch of the canal: a packet boat carrying several wealthy travelers, and a barge carrying what appears to be a load of stone. On the towpath, "hoggees" drive mules used to pull the boats. Within this one stretch there are two low bridges, over one of which a farmer is driving pigs from one field to another. It's clear that many different social and economic interests are in play, yet the overall effect is harmonious.';

var str = 'Wide-angle panorama of looks west where the Erie Canal crosses the aqueduct at present-day Broad Street. Its course points toward the tower of Rochester's city hall. Directly across the Genesee we see factory of Cluett Peabody & Co., manufacturer of Arrow Shirt Collars; the smokestack to its right is topped by a statue of Mercury, created in 1881 for the Kimball Tobacco Co. formerly at this location. To the left, Court Street Bridge has railroad terminals on either side of the Genesee: on this side, the Lehigh Valley (still standing today as Dinosaur Bar B Que restaurant); on the far side the Erie Railroad. The sign at near right for the "People's Safety Show" probably dates the photo to 1914, advertising an exposition on worker safety at the Rochester Convention Center.';

var str = 'Detailed map of former Erie Canal boomtown reflects its growth into a large city half a century later. Looking north, from Highland Park, we can trace the Genesee River to Lake Ontario. Several features from Rochester's earliest days still are visible: the Erie Canal (and its viaduct across the Genesee), mills along the gorge near High Falls, the neighborhood of Corn Hill, Mt. Hope Cemetery, and more.
Although the panorama doesn't have numbered points and a legend, street names are clearly visible and many commercial buildings are labeled. Follow the hyperlink below to access higher resolution images.';

Two railroad lines appear, however--the dominant form of transportation by the 1880s--and eventually the village of 2,000 became better known as a suburb of Rochester and its canal a scenic pathway.
