The Erie Canal had no engineers working on it in many sections. The amateurs in charge of it could only survey with the compass, chain and level. Men would agree to be responsible for a section at a time. They would dig by hand and uses horses to haul the dirt away.

They lost 1000 workers in one season due to malaria.
