520 $a"With his thick German accent, William C. Bouck was known as the 'Dutch governor' of New York. Descended from German immigrants who arrived in Schoharie County in the early 1700s, Bouck attributed his frugality, work ethic, and character to his humble farm upbringing. As canal commissioner from 1821-1840 he was one of the most important men in the making of the Erie Canal. As governor and esteemed elder statesman in the 1840s, he was described as having 'good sense, prudence and discretion.' This book describes Bouck's youth, public service, and his careers as a farmer, canal commissioner, governor, and elder statesman. A brief Bouck family tree is included" -- Publisher's description.
