The Niagara Ship Canal and Reciprocity is a historical book written by Josiah Dixon Hayes in 1865. The book discusses the proposed construction of a ship canal connecting Lake Erie to Lake Ontario through the Niagara River. The author provides a detailed account of the economic and political advantages of building the canal, which would facilitate trade between the United States and Canada. The book also includes a speech given by Israel T. Hatch, a prominent businessman and politician, in support of the canal project. The speech highlights the need for reciprocity, or free trade, between the two countries and argues that the canal would be a crucial step towards achieving this goal. Overall, The Niagara Ship Canal and Reciprocity is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of trade and commerce between the United States and Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
