CHAPTER SIX: Rivals in Crime
The account of the Corps of Engineers’ coup on the Tulare Basin rivers in California is taken mainly from Arthur Maass’s Muddy Waters. For the story of Garrison Dam and the drowning of the Three Tribes, I have relied largely on Arthur Morgan’s Dams and Other Disasters.
The competition between the Corps and the Bureau is something of which I was completely unaware (as most conservationists are, too) until I came across the Bureau’s secret “blue envelope” files. Spokesmen for the Corps of Engineers were of no help in corroborating this information. The Marysville Dam episode, however, was largely corroborated in interviews with Robert Pafford, one of the chief actors. The self-defeating competition on California’s North Coast rivers was similarly corroborated by David Shuster, formerly operations manager of the Central Valley Project, and to a lesser degree by William Warne.
Some of the Rampart Dam story is based on interviews with Floyd Dominy and John Gottschalk.
Other important interviews for this chapter: David Weiman, Richard Madson, George Piper, Ed Green, General John Woodland Morris (ret.), H. P. Dugan, Peter Carlson, John Marlin, Tom Barlow, Jim Cook, Norman Livermore, Richard Wilson, Jim Casey, Edmund G. Brown, Sr., Ronald B. Robie, Gerald Meral, James Flannery, Brent Blackwelder, Anthony Wayne Smith, Raphael Kazmann, Guy Martin.
