Army engineers shaped nations with steady watchful hands
From 1902 to 1928 the corps of engineers on rivers and harbors rejected two of every three project, earning trust through efficiency and honesty. Panama Canal work under Goethals highlighted their scope from Gatun dam to Gaillard cut, cost $370 million, with 5 million cubic yards of concrete.
