Book excerpt: "The Columbia River and its tributaries hold the greatest hydroelectric power potential of any river system in America. The systematic development of the potential began with a survey of the Columbia River Basin by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Its subsequent report to Congress in 1931 recommended construction of a system of multipurpose dams of unprecedented size, difficulty, and expense. During the Great Depression, as part of President Roosevelt's efforts to remove men from relief roles, the federal government undertook to build two dams on the Columbia River following the Corp's master plan. They were completed in time to aid to the production of weaponry in World War II. Through the postwar economic boom, the government built more dams, distributing giant blocks of power to industry in a region whose economy until then had been mainly extractive. With a focus on the Pacific Northwest, this book treats of federal power in the dam-building era in America. The legacy of that era is conflicted. The hydroelectric development of the Columbia River Basin is incontrovertibly both one of the great technological achievements of the twentieth century and a massive incursion into nature. In keeping, this book discusses the development both from the side of engineering, the source of problems in the dam-building era, and from the side of nature, the source of problems in the era that succeeded it, the environmental. The Columbia River Basin is home to the country's greatest salmon runs, and dams have threatened their survival, even as nowhere else has so much effort and expense been directed to preserving them. Problems of power and of the environment have an urgency in today's world, and measures that address them are often contradictory. This book considers the measures and the place of hydroelectricity among alternative sources of energy."--from publisher

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years following World War II, the world’s biggest dam was almost built in Hells Canyon on the Snake River in Idaho. Karl Boyd Brooks tells the story of the dam controversy, which became a referendum not only on public-power expansion but also on the environmental implications of the New Deal’s natural resources and economic policy. Private-power critics of the Hells Canyon High Dam posed difficult questions about the implications of damming rivers to create power and to grow crops. Activists, attorneys, and scientists pioneered legal tactics and political rhetoric that would help to define the environmental movement in the 1960s. The debate, however, was less about endangered salmon or threatened wild country and more about who would control land and water and whether state enterprise or private capital would oversee the supply of electricity. By thwarting the dam’s construction, Snake Basin irrigators retained control over water as well as economic and political power in Idaho, putting the state on a postwar path that diverged markedly from that of bordering states. In the end, the opponents of the dam were responsible for preserving high deserts and mountain rivers from radical change. With Public Power, Private Dams, Karl Brooks makes an important contribution not only to the history of the Pacific Northwest and the region’s anadromous fisheries but also to the environmental history of the United States in the period after World War II.
