A new book exploring the history of the Ohio River's last two wicket dams is available from the Louisville Engineer District. "Last of the Old Wicket Dams: A History of Ohio River Locks and Dams 52 and 53: 1928-2018" was printed last month and is available at no cost on a first-come, first served basis. About 200 copies are available to the public. Copies of the book may be requested by emailing lrl-pao@usace.army.mil and providing the requester's name and mailing address. The 347-page hard-back book was written by Nicolai Kryloff of Historical Research Associates Inc., who contracted with the Corps for the project. Jar-ed Barrett, archaeologist for the Louisville Engineer District, was the technical point of contact with the contractor and reviewed all aspects of it. From start to finish, the project took two years. |
