This is a collection of stories written by children of the dam workers and other families who came to the Boomtown areas seeking work and a new place to live and thrive. What comes to mind is the proverbial I remember when, as you may find yourself recalling similar times or stories related to you of a different nature. Fifty five different families recall life during the construction of Shasta Dam. Some stories are humorous, some are poignant and some simply share memories. Many are a reflection of the hard times of the Depression Era. Several have common themes, such as the importance of children getting new shoes, or the friendships and freedom they enjoyed as children. Other stories depict the changes of living in the area as dam construction continued to provide a boost to the area's economy. Each story showcases personal family photographs. Like painting a canvas one stroke at a time, we have created for you a look at life duirng those years through the eyes of a Dam Kid.
