This "oral" history of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project uses interviews of the men who designed and built the Seaway to portray how it felt to be part of one of the largest and most successful construction projects of the 20th century. Parham (history, Siena College, NY) has included personal accounts from engineers, truck drivers, project managers, carpenters and local news reporters to comment on every possible topic from the economic relations between the US and Canada during the project to weekly casualty reports. Spouses, local merchants and service industry employees also weigh in on the impact of this construction project on their everyday lives. The author includes plenty of period photographs, illustrations and maps to document the scope of the project. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
