Fort Wayne Canal Dream of 1820s Found in History
The piece traces fort Wayne’s rise from early canal hopes to a thriving modern city. It notes James Riley’s 1819 view of Fort Wayne as a trade depot and the Wabash and Erie canal idea, state authorization, ground breaking, and the steam era ending those dreams while Fort Wayne remains Indiana’s third largest city. It also recalls Wayne’s death in Pa and a revived posthumous tale of his burial.
