Reseña del libro "Bonneville Lock and Dam: A Gift from the People of the Great Depression (en Inglés)"
Bonneville Lock and Dam became one of the symbols of the Great Depression era efforts to jump-start the economy and get people working again. During the 1930s, massive public works projects like Bonneville gave the people of the Great Depression jobs and hope. Bonneville also played an important role during World War II, providing power for building ships and aircraft. Since the 1930s, it has generated non-stop, clean, renewable power, provided inexpensive inland navigation, and water-based recreation. The dam evolved with the changing needs of society. This gift of 1930s infrastructure continues to return benefits for all Americans. Enjoy this insider's view of the dam - told by a person whose job was to give tours, tell stories about the dam, and shape the visitor experience for a half million people a year.

Hear suggestions from a ranger about the best ways to visit the dam and learn some obscure facts about this iconic structure.
