Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Winner of the Southwest Book Awards 2020 Spur Awards Finalist Contemporary Nonfiction, Western Writers of America The Grand Canyon has been saved from dams three times in the last century. Unthinkable as it may seem today, many people promoted damming the Colorado River in the canyon during the early twentieth century as the most feasible solution to the water and power needs of the Pacific Southwest. These efforts reached their climax during the 1960s when the federal government tried to build two massive hydroelectric dams in the Grand Canyon. Although not located within the Grand Canyon National Park or Monument, they would have flooded lengthy, unprotected reaches of the canyon and along thirteen miles of the park boundary. Saving Grand Canyon tells the remarkable true story of the attempts to build dams in one of America’s most spectacular natural wonders. Based on twenty-five years of research, this fascinating ride through history chronicles a hundred years of Colorado River water development, demonstrates how the National Environmental Policy Act came to be, and challenges the myth that the Sierra Club saved the Grand Canyon. It also shows how the Sierra Club parlayed public perception as the canyon’s savior into the leadership of the modern environmental movement after the National Environmental Policy Act became law. The tale of the Sierra Club stopping the dams has become so entrenched—and so embellished—that many historians, popular writers, and filmmakers have ignored the documented historical record. This epic story puts the events from 1963–1968 into the broader context of Colorado River water development and debunks fifty years of Colorado River and Grand Canyon myths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Canyon controversy arose as a result of the proposal that the Bureau of Reclamation build two dams in the Canyon as part of the proposed Colorado River Basin Project (CRBP), one at Marble Gorge and the other at Bridge Canyon. Bridge Canyon Dam (which would now be called Hualapai Dam) would be located 53 miles downstream from Grand Canyon National Monument but would back water throughout the length of the Monument and 13 miles into Grand Canyon National Park. Marble Gorge Dam would be located 13 miles above the Park and would flood the inner gorge of the Grand Canyon 40 miles upstream to Lee's Ferry. The threat to alter the natural state of the Canyon, Park and Monument led to vigorous opposition by conservationists to the CRBP. The CRBP was also strongly opposed by the Pacific Northwest. Although the publicly stated purpose of the dams was to provide revenue to subsidize the other principal feature of the CRBP, the Central Arizona Project, the real intent was somewhat different. It has been shown that the dams are not needed to finance the Central Arizona Project at all, and that their real but little publicized purpose was to build a fund for the possible future importation of water into the Colorado River (presumably from the Columbia River) if and when this should prove to be politically and economically feasible.
