THE DEDICATION OF FOLSOM DAM
OCTOBER 2, 1948
In Placer County, it is recognized today we are gathered on historic
ground. Here, less than a hundred years ago, express riders and spirited
horses were providing security for the transportation of a golden
treasure mined by thousands of Americans on this American River.
With their pounding hoofs, sped communication to a score of populous
Placer and El Dorado county mining towns, located along its river on
rich bars that soon will vanish to oblivion under the rising water of
Folsom Lake; which the dawn of this new day will bring to the American
River.
The American River is our heritage. It is the heritage of all
Californians and the heritage of all our Nation; because it is significant
from the passage of events, that ages ago the wisdom and goodness
of Almighty Providence decided that our California was to belong to
Americans, and that the Deed of conveyance would be found on the
American River.
Spain, England and Russia all developed ambitions for power in
California, before a young United States had strength to cross the
western mountains. But the golden sands of this river, which would have
spurred their flood of foreign conquest, were walked on by them, but
never observed. It is prophetic of future events that even in those
years, the good Mexican people in California, had named this river
for the Americans. During all the centuries of the past, the golden
n River was preserved by Providence for Amersecret of the America
d the Union of our
icans, and for their useful building of California an
states.
Just as this river draws strength from its source high in the mountains, let us likewise look up to the source of our institutions and to
the source of the spirit of our people. Let us preserve the purity of
liberty and freedom from which our greatness has sprung, and which
finds a fulfillment on the American River in this occasion today.
The people of Placer County in dedication of the concrete and
steel for this Folsom Dam would have me say to it, ‘Stand Fast. fe
Strong. And may the land you serve, grow with fertility and its people,
in greatness.”.
