The Hoover Dam:
Lonely Lands Made Fruitful

This page created and designed by Janet Haven for
the University of Virginia American Studies
Program and
the 1930's Project.
Many thanks to Richard Guy Wilson for his generous assistance
with this project.
The title for this project was taken from the flagpole base
inscription at Hoover Dam:
"It is fitting that the flag of our country should fly here in honor of
those men who,
inspired by a vision of lonely lands made fruitful,
conceived this great work
and of those others whose genius and labor
made
that vision a reality."
