IrvingWe stopped by the Big Dipper in Shasta Lake for lunch and saw a well worn copy of this book. While leafing through it my Mom found photos of her Dad throughout the book. We bought it from and have been enjoying it ever since. She and her siblings were raised on 3-4 different dams as my grandfather moved them from one to another. She was 9 years old when he began working on Shasta; the book has reminded her of many wonderful childhood memories! Doreen0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Really cool bookBy Teri AntognazziI bought this book for my husband on a whim because he doesnt read books of any kind. I thought it would be cool since we both grew up in the area. He lived in "Central Valley" now none as Shasta Lake City and I grew up in Buckeye and Summit city. As my husband was looking at all the pictures he noticed a picture of his moms house which is now his; taken in 1946.
