Abstract
This report is a literature review in preparation for field interviewing. The general subject of the study is the construction and early operation of the nine Corps of Engineers lock and dam facilities located between Red Wing, MN. and Guttenberg, Iowa. These facilities are components in the 9- foot channel system which established slackwater navigation on the Mississippi River between St. Paul and New Orleans in the 1930's. Information was gathered under four categories of historical inquiry: Corps of Engineers history, staffing, and work conditions; community relations; environmental and other special interest activisim; engineering as a profession.
