Billy Buck

Billy Buck in the Backyard of his Six Companies Cottage in 1934

 

"There was a gate to come through to get into Boulder City. It was a real reservation with a fence and a guardhouse. When we got to the gate, government rangers there checked out everyone that came in. Everyone was asked their reason for coming to Boulder City. We had to state our business in Boulder City, where we expected to live, who we were going to see. Of course, I told them I was coming to visit my husband, who had been up here several months. But we had to get out of the little bus, and everyone was checked out."

Madeline Knighten, in Building Hoover Dam, p. 109
