prince maximilian's trip along the ohio & erie canal 5 A number of travelers chronicled their trips via canal boat along the Ohio & Erie Canal in the nineteenth century. But the trip of Maximilian, Prince of Wied (1782-1867), stands out among them. This German explorer made important early observations along the canal during June 1834, less than two years after the full length of the canal was opened in October 1832. His trip crossed the entire length of the canal, from the warmer biomes of southern Ohio to the cooler forests of northeastern Ohio. Maximilian had two qualities that distinguished his observations: he was a highly knowledgeable, experienced naturalist, and he had no personal stake in the settling of the frontier and concomitant suppression of the native peoples of North America
