Boulder Dam is one of Zane Grey's best books, and it shows in his text. Every aspect of the construction is detailed with vivid description and accuracy. This book shows his care and love for his work as a writer of "good" historical romance. The wild and woolly west was still alive and present when the dam was built and Zane Grey covers the kind of illicit activity was occurring when construction was taking place, and he tells of the dangers the men faced as the dam came into existence. The story is told through the eyes of one man who performs nearly all the jobs that made the dam possible, so the reader gets to "see" for himself what a colossal undertaking this was. Along the way he meets a girl in trouble and he helps her and, of course, falls in love. This is an excellent book and it makes one wonder why it took so long to get it published either before or after his death. Zane Grey is synonymous with the West and this book does not disappoint because it is "all there"--everything you would ever want in a book by Zane Grey. Five Stars all the way!
