Full Hand ,A

by Thomas F. Yezerski, is a beautifully illustrated children's book about a Asa, fictional nine year old boy, who starts work on the Morris Canal after his father, a canal boat captain, looses his mule tender. On his first trip they pick up cargo at the coal chutes, lock through, travel up an inclined plane (unlike our D & H Canal), and he learns how to handle the mules.
