 | Locks, Crocs, & Skeeters,The Story of the Panama Canal
A look at the Isthmus of Panama from the days of Balboa, discoverer of the
Pacific Ocean, the failed French attempt at digging a canal from ocean to
ocean, to the American efforts to eradicate malaria, drain lakes,
dig through and blast mountains, which culminated in the successful Panama Canal of
today. The poem, Beyond the Chagres, by James Stanley Gilbert sets the
stage for the greatest engineering feat of all time. Maps, mosquitoes,
biographies.
