Lake Mead

(Part of the Images of America: Nevada Series)

No Customer Reviews

The drastic contrast between its desert landscape and the deep, blue waters of Lake Mead makes it difficult to envision the park's creation as merely incidental. After the completion of the Hoover Dam, the waters of the Colorado River began to flood the river valley and form one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. The Bureau of Reclamation soon realized the vast recreational opportunities that Lake Mead would provide. Through a memorandum of agreement, the National Park Service was tasked with managing the first national recreation area, formerly known as the Boulder Dam National Recreation Area.

Rated 5 stars
another Ashes series great

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 8, 2001

all of this series are a tresure for any American who values his country and his beliefs... and not just a "his" book...this book has merit to all who can hear the message.. the philosophy of common sense and standing up for your beliefs are a delight in this day of political correctness..to enjoy this book better ..reading the original Out of the Ashes is very helpful but not necessary
