Eccentric Inventors, Political Intrigue and Remarkable Engineering Feats Propelled Evolution of Hydropower.
Author Bob Underwood’s grandfather and Quogue native, George Jessup, was “a dam engineer and proud of it” and from their interactions sprang the idea for his captivating retrospective on the history of hydropower, Dam It! Electrifying America and Taming Her Waterways. A venture capital/private equity veteran, Underwood has a doctorate in engineering from Stanford University, an MBA from Santa Clara University and is a life-long Quogue resident.
