Way, Peter. Common Labor: Workers and the Digging of North American Canals, 1780-1860. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993.
Notes: This is a comprehensive examination of the digging of North American canals and the ensuing conflicts between labor and management. Working conditions and the organization of work changed drastically between 1780 and 1860. Much of the labor was provided by Irish workers, who were considered to be more expendable than slaves in the Middle Atlantic states. While other studies focus on their propensity to riot and fight amongst themselves in the 1830s, Way argues that this was due less to ethnic rivalries than to economic conditions and management's shabby treatment of labor. The records of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company provide much of the information upon which this study is based.
