Sandy and Beaver Notes from Vodrey and Gard

Elsewhere on this site you will find a post about selling some recently discovered books; The Sandy and Beaver Canal, written by William H. Vodrey and Max Gard. Along with the books came a small folder with some notes the men had gathered as they researched the canal. It is a mix of hotel reservation notes, some lock locations and a listing of canal boats and their masters. For those researching the canal, this might have clues to potential research locations.

These are all in pdf files, so you will need to click on the link. Each file has anywhere from 2 to 5 pages.
