Synopsis
The Ashokan Reservoir is a visual treat for anyone using the perimeter road, dividing weir, or the new Ashokan Rail Trail. The background of Catskill Mountain peaks, which frame 12 square miles of water, create a vista that makes the visitor wonder how this all came to be. The author wanted to bring the story of how this massive dam, miles of dikes, and water controls come together into a system that provides New York City residents 500 million gallons of water daily. Accolades go to the Board of Water Supply engineers who, in the 1900s, designed the project and to the contractors and their workers who, more than 100 years ago and mostly by hand, completed an undertaking nearly the magnitude of the Panama Canal. Construction started on September 30, 1907. In six years, on September 9, 1913, water storage began. The dam and dikes, followed by roads and bridges, completed the project in December 1917. Completion was ahead of schedule and under budget!

- n***n (378)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI value transparency with Ebay sellers - and this seller was 110% transparent about the condition of the item and what to expect as documented through photos and description. (A used and flawed but beautiful signed book). This was a d--n good value for the money. The seller was honest about the authenticity of the signature and the edition, the item arrived swiftly and was well packaged. I have no complaints and would buy from this person again. I'm delighted to own this. Thank you!

Magazine is as described and shown - there is indeed minor staining (?) at the top right edge of some pages and the covers were loose around the top staple. Still decent value. THANKS for the deals!
