"Reprinted from an article in the Engineering News. Illustrated with many special views." An illustrated account of the reconstruction of the Hauser Dam on the Missouri River in Montana. The original dam failed in 1908, after being in operation for just a year, causing severe flooding. This reconstruction took place from 1908 to 1911, and is still in use today. This work details the effort of rebuilding the dam, depicting all phases of the construction. Six copies in OCLC -- Denver Public Library, University of Illinois, Boston Public, Montana Historical Society, Yale, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture.
