Abstract:
On October 6, 1948, the Virginia Electric & Power Company (VEPCO) applied for a license to build a dam on the Roanoke River which would supply electric power to the surrounding area. Kilpatrick describes the efforts of the United States Department of the Interior to prevent the company from building the dam. On March 16, 1953, the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the power company.
