Beschreibung:
Paul C. Pitzer has taught American history at Aloha High School in Beaverton, Oregon, since 1969. He spent two years with the Peace Corps in Iranian Azarbaijan and holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Oregon. Among his publications are a number of articles on Northwest history and the book Building the Skagit, published in 1978.
In the capable hands of Paul Pitzer, the fight for Grand Coulee Dam and the story of its construction is a vital, animated saga of people striving for dazzling goals and then working to build something spectacular. These visionaries accomplished their objective against the backdrop of the worst economic depression in the nation's history. The dam and the extensive irrigation network it supports stand today as a monument to their dreams and labors.
