Index compiled 2005 by
Bob Scharf
Bob Scharf compiled this index from the above mentioned book. He
states:
I fell heir to this copy of the 160 page publication when my wifes aunt moved out of her home of 50+ years and we helped prepare it for an estate auction. This book was given to E.A. Sigafoose, my wife's grandfather and a friend and co-worker of Charles Ludwig at the Times-Star, in 1929. A personal inscription from Ludwig is on the title page, which makes it especially nice for us.
It is a compilation of anecdotes and longer stories and photos gathered from his readers who lived and worked on the old Miami - Erie Canal in Cincinnati. Central Parkway now runs where the canal used to be. Ludwig wrote a short history of the canal and focused his writings on the area in and around Cincinnati. A map in the book, drawn by George Bristol, covers the area from Chester Lake (near Murray Ave.) southerly to downtown and the Ohio River, with an inset (at a smaller scale) showing the route of the canal from Lake Erie to Cincinnati.
It is not a comprehensive history of the canal, as there is no indication that Ludwig did research on those areas not familiar to him personally. Only the info sent to him was published along with material from his personal knowledge of people and events. Nonetheless, it is a fascinating part of Cincinnati's history and contains many names that are of interest to geneaologists. I plan to go back through the book and index the names of places and things that seem to crop up in the Hamilton County list from time to time (business names, histories of places and things, etc.)
