Dworshak Dam Project 54 (Col. McElwee) Item Info

Col. McElwee of the Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District standing in front of a map pinned to a board. Note on back: "Col. McElwee was on the program before Resource managers, explaining the project. He was a fine Col. and a very smart one. He was great but took a beating when he wanted to not replace the railroad from Lewiston down the Snake River to the Snake River dams. In this instance I (Curtis) had to take the other side and work for the re-location of the railroad down-stream from Lewiston. I think he got his orders from high-up, however, and readily agreed when things turned against him. He is now is New York with. Con. Ed. and has a great job with lots of responsibility. (A.B. Curtis - 1976)"
