Professor of\nhist ory at Boise State University\, Bob Reinhardt has created The\nAtl as of Drowned Towns\, a public history project that explores the\ nhistories of the dozens of communities in the American West inundated by\ ndam construction in the twentieth century. From the Snake and Sacramento to\nthe Columbia and Colorado\, massive hydroelectric\, irrigation\, and f lood\ncontrol dams tower over western rivers.
Beneath the shadows a nd\nunderneath the reservoirs of these dams lie the remnants of homelands\ ,\ntowns\, villages\, and other homes that were displaced or eliminated to make\nway for twentieth-century ideas of progress. For the broader public as well\nas policy makers\, these disappeared places have passed out of m emory and\ninto myth. Recovering the submerged pasts of lost communities w ill reveal\nthe historical significance of marginalized places in the Amer ican West\,\nencourage appreciation of the complexity of such places\, and provide\nlessons for the future of river development and community displa cement.
