    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The owing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Army Engineers and the Nicaragua Canal Survey of 1929–1931 Michael J
    “A Wet, Nasty Job”: Army Engineers and the Nicaragua Canal Survey of 1929–1931 Michael J. Brodhead Among the great themes in the maritime history of the world, the fascination with creating a pathway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans looms especially large. The search for such a pathway went beyond nautical concerns. It came to have diplomatic, military, economic, and scientific significance. The Western powers sought to tap the riches of the East, spread their influence over the Pacific and Asia, and facilitate trade and travel between America’s West Coast and Europe. The dream of a passage between the seas eventually materialized as the Panama Canal, built by the United States and completed in 1914. A Diamond drill crew at Miramar lock site, December 18, 1930. Diamond drills were used to obtain rock quick glance at a map suggests strata samples. that building the canal through the Isthmus of Panama was the logical choice. A closer look at the map shows that there were several other possibilities. The historical record shows that in the United States advocates of a canal across Nicaragua dominated the debate for many years, and that the United States was far from alone in its desire for a corridor linking the great oceans. Since the early colonial era in the Western Hemisphere, Spain, Britain, the Netherlands, France, and the United States all investigated possible routes for highways, railroads, and canals. Throughout the 19th century, governments, commercial interests, and individuals considered as many as 19 possibilities, ranging from the Isthmus of Darien, in what is now Colombia, to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico.1 During this period, the American government favored a route through Nicaragua.

Pershing Report Punitive Expedition Report, the report of Major General John J. Pershing, commander of the expedition into Mexico to "capture Villa and his bandits." Also referred to as the "Pancho Villa Expedition" or the "Mexican Expedition." It was launched against the Mexican insurgent Francisco "Pancho" Villa in retaliation for Villa's attack on Columbus, New Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. The expedition took place from March 14, 1916 to February 7, 1917. The Expedition ended without the capture of Pancho Villa. The report is made up of a series of smaller sections submitted to the commanding general of the Southern Department at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. It is broken into two general sections. The first is organization and operations and the second deals with the administration of general staff in the field. The Punitive Expedition led by Brigadier General John J. Pershing in Mexico is one of the more obscure campaigns conducted by the United States Army.

  • The History of Large Federal Dams: Planning, Design, and Construction in the Era of Big Dams
    THE HISTORY OF LARGE FEDERAL DAMS: PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION IN THE ERA OF BIG DAMS David P. Billington Donald C. Jackson Martin V. Melosi U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Denver Colorado 2005 INTRODUCTION The history of federal involvement in dam construction goes back at least to the 1820s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built wing dams to improve navigation on the Ohio River. The work expanded after the Civil War, when Congress authorized the Corps to build storage dams on the upper Mississippi River and regulatory dams to aid navigation on the Ohio River. In 1902, when Congress established the Bureau of Reclamation (then called the “Reclamation Service”), the role of the federal government increased dramati- cally. Subsequently, large Bureau of Reclamation dams dotted the Western land- scape. Together, Reclamation and the Corps have built the vast majority of ma- jor federal dams in the United States. These dams serve a wide variety of pur- poses. Historically, Bureau of Reclamation dams primarily served water storage and delivery requirements, while U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams supported QDYLJDWLRQDQGÀRRGFRQWURO)RUERWKDJHQFLHVK\GURSRZHUSURGXFWLRQKDVEH- come an important secondary function. This history explores the story of federal contributions to dam planning, design, and construction by carefully selecting those dams and river systems that seem particularly critical to the story. Written by three distinguished historians, the history will interest engineers, historians, cultural resource planners, water re- source planners and others interested in the challenges facing dam builders. At the same time, the history also addresses some of the negative environmental consequences of dam-building, a series of problems that today both Reclamation and the U.S.

Camillo, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division and U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) historian, approached me in 2007 about the possibility of working on a history of ERDC, I was excited about the potential of the project. He outlined a volume that would cover scientific research in engi- neering, hydraulics, computer science, topography, environmental science, and other techni- cal fields. As one raised by an engineer in a town with one of the highest concentrations of physicists, engineers, and computer developers in the country — Huntsville, Alabama — and as someone who had written about computers and technology for years, I saw the project as an opportunity to bring my personal interests and experiences to bear on describing one of the most unique organizations in the country.
