A 1941 1st edition of The Colorado Conquest by David O. Woodbury, published by Dodd Mead & Co, USA
Lacks the original dustjacket. Illustrated, 367 pages, maps to endpapers
Although based on fact, the author used the addition of fictional characters to bring the story of taming the Colorado River and bringing water to the Imperial Valley to life. The book reads more like a novel than a history book. Generously illustrated with line drawings and photographs, the complexities of the huge projects carried out on the Colorado river are detailed and explained.
