Ticklebelly Tales – Stories from the People of the Hydro 1910–2006 | Heather Felton | 2013 [NEW – HCDJ]

Ticklebelly Tales tells that story through the people who actually did the work — the construction workers, engineers and families who lived in the temporary townships built around the dam and power station sites, often in genuinely harsh conditions, from 1910 through to 2006.
