Collection of forty-six stories chronicling the events surrounding the building of the great Carey act irrigation project that has transmuted a once barren desert into what is now called the "Magic" Valley. The book tells the personal stories of pioneers who got that job done, and who founded the city of Twin Falls, and first made it prosper -- people like Ira Perrine, John Hansen, Paul Bickel, John and Anna Hayes, and many others
