Cassidy scrapbooks, ca. 1921-1940.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/652478281

Summary: Nine scrapbooks of newspaper clippings, arranged under five topics covering the years 1921 to 1940, and compiled by Cassidy for whom politics was an interest and hobby. Clippings highlight politics, taxes, activities of Senator Cameron of Arizona, and two scrapbooks on miscellaneous Arizona topics and events. Most significant for researchers are four scrapbooks featuring the planning, legislation, and construction of Boulder/Hoover Dam. Additional water issues and disputes by the various concerned states are also covered in these scrapbooks including Arizona's feud with California over Parker Dam. Clippings are not arranged chronologically or by specific event or topics in the books and mostly overlap each other on pages. Five scrapbooks do have indexes in the front that will assist researchers in locating stories of interest.
