dc.description.abstractThe Clinton Canal Bank at Pontiac was chartered to help finance the Clinton Kalamazoo Canal project, to connect Lake St. Clair to Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, the financial panic of 1837-1841 and the competition of the railway led to the demise of the project, with only the portion from Mount Clemens to Rochester being completed. This two dollar bearer note was issued by the Clinton Canal Bank in 1837, and reads "The | Clinton | Canal Bank | at Pontiac | Will Pay TWO DOLLARS on demand | to [illegible] or Bearer. Michigan Safety Fund | No. 192 | Pontiac | Dec. 9 1837 | Real estate pledged and private property holden."en_US
