Scanned image, from the University of Florida George A. Smathers Library, courtesy of The Internet Archive. Description An account of the resource Beginning in 1890, recurring attempts were made to construct a dam in the Genesee River gorge so as to control flooding in the city of Rochester and generate electricity. After failed efforts at Mt. Morris, in 1896 attention turned to a site at Portageville and the state legislature authorized creation of the Genesee River Company. William P. Letchworth was alarmed at the project's potential impacts, and by 1906 he had enlisted the aid of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. These two diagrams were created by that organization as part of a multi-prong resistance to the dam project--along grounds of historical & environmental uniqueness of the gorge, and in this case its geological infeasibility. The two diagrams appear with their original captions, the gist of which is to show that a proposed canal already had rejected the site because of its sandy composition. Remarks following the diagrams are offered by Prof. A. W. Grabau of Columbia University: "A break in this dam of quicksand such as is sure to occur from undermining by seepage if the lake is created, would carry the resultant flood into the present Genesee gorge near the Lower Falls and through the outer gorges to the flats below Mount Morris. It would not be difficult to estimate which of the villages of the flats would hr wiped out of existence. Probably few would escape. Unless it can be shown that a dam of quicksand from half a mile to a mile in length and 2,000 feet across, and extending 70 feet below the floor of the valley which it dams, can hold in check a lake 15 miles long and 118 feet deep and about a mile in width, and containing 15,000,000,000 cubic feet of water, the project will have to be abandoned." The Portageville Dam project finally was rejected in 1911, although on grounds of economic "infeasibility" rather than geological unsoundness or historical preservation.

Title A name given to the resource George M. Traber on Women Cutters Description An account of the resource Letter to Local Board #571 of the Selective Service System shows the President of Perry Knitting Co. attempting to secure as many deferments for his (male) employees as possible. In this case, he argues that women in the Cutting Room lack the strength to handle a full 40 lb. batch in a single cut, and the resulting half-batches slow down production 50%. Traber also argues there is not enough room to locate the additional workers to compensate. Not a Rosie the Riveter moment. Although this document is not dated, its typewriter style and contemporary newspaper accounts suggest it was composed during World War II.
