History/Military Steve Bogener - Ditches Across the Desert: Irrigation in the Lower Pecos Valley
Posted on 2010-03-16
|  |
More Steve Bogener - Ditches Across the Desert: Irrigation in the Lower Pecos Valley In the late 1880s and early 1890s the West was agog over the possibilities of irrigation, but water supplies and soils in the Pecos Valley were uncooperative. Using the extensive sources in the Texas Tech University Special Collections Library, Stephen Bogener charts the story of many shattered promises for reclaiming the arid land. And while the author may wish to recheck some of his biographical information on William E. Smythe and Francis G. Newlands, this is a welcomed and excellent study that adds much to our knowledge of water development projects in southeastern New Mexico in the context of the history of the campaign for national reclamation. The story includes disappointed investors, scheming local promoters, and finally a successful appeal to the U.S. Reclamation Service to buy out a struggling local irrigation company. Ultimately the government assumed responsibility for the problematic irrigation effort, dubbed the Carlsbad Project. Problems with the project contributed to a rising critique of the Reclamation Service.
