Three jeers for the Wreck-the-Nation Bureau
Freeloaders with souls so pure-o
Wiped out the good Lord's work in six short years.
They never saw the old Glen Canyon
Just dammed it up while they were standin'
At their drawing boards with cotton in their ears.

-- From "The Wreck-the-Nation Bureau Song" by Katie Lee.

Images of Glen Canyon, captured through photographs from camping explorations in 1954-56 -- before the completion of Glen Canyon Dam that would flood the canyon with water. Photos courtesy Katie Lee.
