| "It is an
exhilarating spectacle. The largest and in many
ways the most difficult feat of engineering and
construction is being brilliantly accomplished
during the years of depression. At the very time
when our economic life seemed most deranged, we
have succeeded in erecting the largest structure
of its kind every created by man. It is a gallant
monument to any time and people....Boulder Dam
will remain a source of energy and an outstanding
exemplification of the ability of modern man to
control his environment and to turn to human use
the power of untamed nature." Collier's Magazine,
March 16, 1937
