Summary:

"Valley of tomorrow. This is the story of a new kind of pioneering--pioneering by the people of the Tennessee Valley, the 'dreamers with shovels' who have built tomorrow out of yesterday. From a valley whose land was barren and scarred with erosion, whose river used its great stores of energy only for destruction, they created fertile farms, modern productive industries based on the tremendous electric energy of a harnessed river, and a thriving commerce, utilizing the vast man-made waterways that serve them also as fisheries and playgrounds. Today the Tennessee Valley, where farmers milk their cows by electricity, where women who once carried water pail by pail work in modern kitchens, stands as a living symbol of the miracle that can be achieved by people who have a clear vision of the potentialities of their region and a firm belief in a working democracy." -- From back cover.
