Abstract
IT COULDN´T have come at a better time. America was caught in the grip of the worst depression it had ever seen, and the announcement of the largest public works project was seen as a catalyst for economic recovery. The President, Herbert Hoover, saw the ´Boulder Dam´ as an opportunity to create employment, restore national pride and rescue a failing political career.
