From the challenges of controlling the flood-prone Tennessee River to the construction of nearly 50 power-generating dams, take a comprehensive look at one of the most breathtaking public works projects ever attempted!
For a nation on the brink of despair and disaster, it made the impossible seem reachable. With rural America in the grip of the Great Depression, FDR launched dozens of federal programs to steady the shaky economy. But none was so ambitious-or so successful-as the groundbreaking Tennessee Valley Authority.
Charged with the task of turning a 40,000 square-mile river basin into the "Great Lakes of the South," the TVA transformed a dying agricultural region into a model for the new industrial state. Learn the complete story of the TVA and its creators through rare photographs, films and firsthand accounts of the men who worked on it.
