It has a remoteness and natural ambiance unlike any other water body in the state. Although a physically challenging venture, a paddling trip through the Canal is an almost spiritual experience, especially to anyone aware of its rich history. Anyone knowledgeable of that history wll be impelled to think of paleo-hunters traveling through the area in search of chert for manufacturing weapons as well as game; later use of the surrounding area by Native Americans for camp sites, ceremonial and burial use; the frequent use of the passage by the Tocobaga for transporting produce and other supplies for the Spanish Missions; the backbreaking work performed by slaves during the pre-Civil War era in digging and piling up the huge limestone boulders that now line some of the banks of the canal; and the subsequent use of the area for trade, subsistence fishing and hunting and even ' moonshining'. That rich history can not help but enhance the natural beauty of the passage.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515691385053,"sku":"9781717902160","price":21.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/eXpKNi9QWXZwbnJxdTE4MEt3Tzkrdz09.webp?v=1772176776","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-wacissa-slave-canal-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
