Owen chronicles the construction of one of the most impressive engineering marvels of the 19th century: the Texcoco-Huehuetoca Canal in Mexico. This book provides detailed information on the system's planning, construction, and operation, as well as insights into the social and political climate that surrounded this ambitious project.

First published in 1912, this book provides a fascinating look at the city of Pacific, Washington, and its development in the early 20th century. Owen explores key aspects of the city's history and character, including its natural resources, economy, and social and cultural life. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Pacific, as well as those interested in the history of the Pacific Northwest more broadly.
