Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the engrossing story of the unsung heroes who did the day-to-day work of building Arizona's dams, focusing on the lives of laborers and their families who created temporary construction communities during the building of seven major dams in central Arizona. The book focuses primarily on the 1903-1911 Roosevelt Dam camps and the 1926-1927 Camp Pleasant at Waddell Dam, although other camps dating from the 1890s through the 1940s are discussed as well. The book is liberally illustrated with historic photographs of the camps and the people who occupied them while building the dams.

Book excerpt: If the Hohokam beheld Lake Pleasant today, spreading across the desert northwest of Phoenix, their eyes would scarcely recognize their home. Nearly a century ago, early pioneers in central Arizona were inspired by the Hohokam's hand-dug irrigation to divert the Agua Fria River from the Bradshaw Mountains, creating colossal agricultural potential in the Sonoran Desert. Lake Pleasant stands alone among the great reclamation efforts of the West, largely due to the tenacity of one man--William H. Beardsley, who died before it was completed. Beardsley, along with other visionaries like Carl Pleasant and Donald Waddell, overcame all odds to create the Pleasant Dam, which was completed in October 1927 and was later renamed the Waddell Dam. In the late 20th century, the New Waddell Dam was constructed, which tripled the size of the lake and made the water flow uphill, back into Lake Pleasant. Today Lake Pleasant Regional Park offers visitors over 20,000 acres of crystal clear water ideal for boating, water sports, and fishing and over 140 developed sites for RV and tent camping.

Book excerpt: This book is organized unlike other books about rivers. Even the Table of Contents looks different. Rivers are interrelated into the lives of people and wildlife. Historical events are related to other events and many kinds of activities affected more than one river. For these reasons, the book is organized into history chapters alternating with chapters about specific rivers. The history chapters contain information needed to understand impacts on the rivers. They are not intended as a thorough history of the state. The river chapters contain information specific to each river, with frequent references to the history chapters for information common to several rivers. Short feature sections contain information on specific common topics. We have attempted to avoid technical terms, but those that are used are defined in the glossary. Similarly, we have used common names for plants and animals. Readers interested in the scientific names will find those in a special section of the glossary.
