Om Snubbing Posts
SNUBBING POSTS is the result of months of intensive research and interviews with old canal folks, to many of whom the "Little Ditch" was a career. The historical aspects of the story are written with accuracy; the human part, the part dealing with people, is told with rare feeling for the color and atmosphere which distinguished the canal. The narrative is packed with anecdotes, reflecting the humor which was so constant and spontaneous a characteristic of the canal people, so that few of the book's pages but make a genuine contribution to the folkway literature of America.
