What is Huntington (Images of America) about?

Because of its location near the Historic Forks of the Wabash, Huntington served as an important transportation hub in the Old Northwest.Because of its location near the Historic Forks of the Wabash, Huntington served as an important transportation hub in the Old Northwest, and as the years went by, the Wabash & Erie Canal introduced a wide variety of craftsmen and their families to the area until railroads eventually made canal travel obsolete. After the canal boom and bust, railroads and farming dominated Huntington's economy, but textiles, light manufacturing, and limestone quarries populated the landscape--limestone from Indiana was even used to build the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. Additionally, the town is also home to Huntington University, a perennial selection as one of the Midwest's best private colleges.
