1936 LIFE First Cover, Margaret Bourke-White
No visit to Fort Peck Dam would be complete without including Margaret Bourke-White's historic, spectacular First Cover of LIFE Magazine (1936). These are the gate piers of the spillway structure under construction. Bourke-White (one of my heroes) masterly limned the crenelated medieval castle aspect of these colossal monoliths. Compare this with the next picture and see if you can find the same distinctive shapes.
