With the eye and ear of a gifted story­teller, Bob Underwood introduces us to the visionaries who electrified the country by taming its rivers and tapping their waterpower. He brings to life the challenges pioneering engineers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and promoters overcame in the race to build the dams that changed America. His tales reveal both the technical and human benefits and costs of industrialization. The book’s 165 photographs, many old and rare, make his story jump off the pages.
