“Trapping the river between the canyon’s serpentine walls, the dam would create a slackwater reservoir 186 miles in length, the longest in the world, covering Creeping Dune to a depth of 350 feet, reaching up Lake Canyon as far as that dune which itself was once a dam.”
Russell Martin, A Story that Stands Like a Dam: Glen Canyon and the Struggle for the Soul of the West

“Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, and his chief construction engineer on the site, an Arkansas-born bulldog named L. F. “Lem” Wylie, Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Floyd Dominy had sanctioned January 21 as the day the diversion tunnel in the west wall of the canyon would be sealed.”
Russell Martin, A Story that Stands Like a Dam: Glen Canyon and the Struggle for the Soul of the West

“Hoover Dam became concrete proof that America’s engineering skill and industrial might together could work a kind of magic. Land and water existed only as rough raw materials to be manipulated, to be subdued, to be conscripted to the cause of the common good. The desert would bloom and great cities would sparkle with light if only we would set our machines in motion.”
