Katrine Barber. Death of Celilo Falls. (The Emil and Kathleen Sick Lecture-Book Series in Western History and Biography.) Seattle: University of Washington Press in association with the Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest. 2005. Pp. xi, 258. $22.50.

Completed in 1959, the Dalles Dam and lock at Celilo Falls is one of twelve structures in the vast Columbia River Basin Project that re-engineered the great river and its tributaries for the purposes of navigation and hydroelectric power. Celilo Falls on the mid-Columbia just east of The Dalles township once was the hub of a thriving Native American culture and economy: a regional trading center, bountiful intertribal fishery, and magnificent landscape. During the twenty years following completion of Bonneville Dam in 1938, the Columbia was transformed from a community of fishers, salmon, Indians, and small-town white Americans to an industrial infrastructure of national significance—an "organic machine" in the words of historian Richard White. Drawing on extensive documentary records of local and federal agencies, Katrine Barber's book is an engaging, meticulously documented, and perhaps representative account of how the federal government transformed the American West.
