A tributary of the Ohio River and significant commercial route in
the nineteenth century, the Muskingum River in southeastern Ohio
presents a remarkable case study of how Americans have managed
their waterways. In Taming the Muskingum, esteemed scholar Emory
Kemp traces this history, emphasizing the engineering and
construction aspects of river navigation and the fourteen related
flood control dams built under the direction of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. Kemp's study ranges from early settlement and
navigation of the uncontrolled Muskingum to the state-of-the-art
engineering projects undertaken during the New Deal to more recent
conservation and recreation uses. llustrated with drawings,
photographs, and maps showing many aspects of the dam and reservoir
system as well as the Muskingum slackwater navigation, Taming the
Muskingum is a rich evocation of a navigation system that is today
recognized as a national Historical Civil Engineering Landmark.
