The early history and construction of Buford Dam and Lake Sidney Lanier, in North Georgia. In 1946, Army engineers surveyed a narrow river valley at the boundary of Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties. Mason J. Young, then South Atlantic Division Chief, looked out over the open expanse from one hillside to the next and exclaimed, "This is a storybook site for a dam ... I don't think I've ever seen a better site!" This book details the history of Lake Lanier using over 700 historical and contemporary photographs, official documents and letters, newspaper articles, maps, interviews and more.
