Ditch of Dreams: The Cross Florida Barge Canal and the Struggle for Florida's Future - Florida History and Culture
Steven Noll
For centuries, men dreamed of cutting a canal across the Florida peninsula. Intended to reduce shipping times, it was championed in the early twentieth century as a way to make the mostly rural state a center of national commerce and trade. Steven Noll and David Tegeder trace the twists and turns of the project through the years, drawing on a wealth of archival and primary sources.
