A man with a talent does what is expected of him, makes his way, constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of bridges.

After Guernsey came Van Giesen Dam outside Sacramento, finished in 1928 for the state of California, and Deadwood Dam in Idaho, another Reclamation project, in 1930. As always, he worked at breakneck speed, poring over the blueprints of the next dam even before he was finished with the present one.

In early 1924, Weymouth offered him the post of regional engineer in Denver, a desk from which Crowe would oversee all construction in seventeen Western states. As this was the region where Reclamation was spending most of its budget, the job was tantamount to the bureau's chief of construction.

Utah boasted experience of dam building on a grand scale, having completed the O'Shaughnessy Dam in Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley in 1923 for a San Francisco municipal water project. That $7 million project had had enough peculiarities to toughen the hide of any construction man. For one thing, it was the subject of one of the most explosive environmental battles in American history,

Leaving aside the impossibility of funding all this activity from the public purse, the main problem with these programs was the dearth of construction plans to absorb even a fraction of the phantom billions—there were almost no surveys, no feasibility studies, no blueprints, and no prospect for drafting
