June 10th The "Alabam" marker in downtown Boulder City

To honor the "non-skilled workers who took part in the huge construction project of the Hoover Dam, there is a bronze sculpture of this fellow- it's called "Alabam"

Alabam

Inscription. At the height of Hoover Dam construction, more than 7,000 men labored in Black Canyon. Some jobs were glamorous and exciting, such as the high scalers who swung over the canyon on ropes or the cableway operators who kept concrete buckets moving 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Other jobs were more mundane, but no less important: there were mockers who shoveled mud out of the tunnels, truck drivers who hauled rock up and down the river or, like the man you see here, those who swept the outhouses and kept them well supplied with paper.  Takes a village to build a project, yes it does.
