Biographical Note
John Samuel
Eastwood
was born on a farm near Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1857. Family tradition holds that his grandfather, Arent van Oosterhout,
served as a Royal Dutch Engineer in the 18th century with responsibility for dike construction in low-lying regions of Holland.
Although proud of his family heritage -- and the engineering activities of his grandfather -- John nonetheless "Americanized"
his name from Oosterhout in 1878 in anticipation of entering the commercial and professional world.
In the late 1870's
Eastwood
matriculated to the University of Minnesota to study engineering; in 1880 he migrated west to start his career helping to
build the Northern Pacific railroad. After working in the Pacific Northwest for three years, he headed south to Fresno to
seek his fortune as an engineer/surveyor. Aside from short business trips, he spent the remainder of his life in California
and became fervently committed to promoting regional economic growth and development. Soon after his arrival in the San Joaquin
Valley in late 1883 (and about the same time he married Ella Tabor after they met at a Baptist church group),
Eastwood
began advocating Fresno's formal incorporation as a city in order to improve municipal services and enhance the community's
image. In the fall of 1885, voters approved the incorporation initiative; in recognition of his support for the measure,
Eastwood
was appointed Fresno's first city engineer and secretary of the city's health board. However, he served as a city official
for only a year and -- in place of government work -- soon focussed his professional energies on endeavors supported by private
enterprise.
Had the SJEC's first few years of operation comprised a period of normal rainfall it is unlikely that the absence of a dam
would have constituted a critical problem (by 1898
Eastwood
was already planning to add a large reservoir to the system). But a serious drought hit central California in the late 1890s,
drying up the North Fork and forcing the SJEC into bankruptcy in 1899 before it could finance construction of a storage dam.
Denied participation in the eventual economic success of the SJEC system (subsequent investors renamed the enterprise the
San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation and it eventually merged into the Pacific Gas and Electric Company in 1931),
Eastwood
experienced first-hand the economic importance of water storage in the arid West. It also fostered within him a strong desire
to find ways of reducing dam construction costs and helped spurred his development of the reinforced concrete multiple arch
dam.
After the financial failure of the SJEC,
Eastwood
remained involved in the development of large-scale hydroelectric power plants in the Sierra Nevada. During the first decade
of the 20th century he worked for Henry Huntington's Pacific Light & Power Corporation in planning what has come to be popularly
known as the Big Creek system. As part of this huge project (that encompassed the entire watershed of the upper San Joaquin
River), he conceived plans for a multiple arch dam design that would impound a key reservoir associated with the system (now
known as Huntington Lake). The intent of these plans was to devise a type of dam that would be less expensive than conventional
massive gravity dams (whether made of earth, rockfill, or masonry) yet equally strong. In 1906
Eastwood
first developed multiple arch designs that required remarkably small quantities of concrete to build. Because of the limited
amount of material needed for construction, these designs also promised significant cost savings.
Financial uncertainties caused by the Panic of 1907 and corporate machinations of the Pacific Light and Power Corporation
kept
Eastwood
from building any multiple arch dams at Big Creek. However, in 1908 he demonstrated the practicality of his new idea by building
a 64-foot high dam for the Hume-Bennett Logging Company in the Sierra Nevadas about 50 miles east of Fresno. Completed in
1909, the Hume Lake Dam comprised the world's first reinforced concrete multiple arch dam. Bought by the U.S. Forest Service
in 1935, this structure remains in service impounding a popular lake now used solely for recreation.
In 1910,
Eastwood
began work on the 92-foot high Big Bear Valley Dam in southern California to be used by irrigation farmers to increase crop
production in the Redlands/San Bernardino region. After completing the Big Bear Valley Dam in 1911, he immediately began working
on a major project for the Great Western Power Company (GWPC) in northern California. By this time he realized that he would
not be called upon to supervise construction of Henry Huntington's Big Creek system. So, leaving Fresno and moving to Oakland,
he commenced work as a specialist devoted to the design and construction of multiple arch dams for clients throughout California
and the West as a whole.
Without recounting in detail the struggle between
Eastwood
and Freeman over Big Meadows Dam, what is important is that by the spring of 1913 Freeman was able to convince the GWPC's
corporate leaders to abandon
Eastwood
multiple arch design in favor of a massive earthfill design. Significantly, the heart of Freeman's objection to
Eastwood's
design did not rest on technical arguments but derived from non-technical concerns about the appearance of the multiple arch
design and the "psychological" disquiet (a term specifically used by Freeman) that the design would supposedly engender among
the general public.
In the wake of the Big Meadows controversy -- and the associated dispute with Freeman --
Eastwood
found himself a professional outsider within the world of engineering and high-level finance. Rather than abandon interest
in multiple arch technology, he instead concentrated his professional energies on the goal of developing inexpensive -- yet
structurally sound -- dam designs to further economic development in the West. Driven by a desire to further western economic
development through the construction of inexpensive dams, he even went so far as to rhapsodize in a 1914 speech that: "The
California Slogan e'er should be, that t'is a crime to let our rivers reach the sea."
Other
Eastwood
commissions completed in the early 1920s include: the Fish Creek Dam built for Mormon irrigation interests near Carey, Idaho;
the Littlerock Dam built for the Littlerock and Palmdale Irrigation Districts in the Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles;
the Anyox Dam built for the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company in northern British Columbia (for many years this
156-foot-high structure stood as the tallest dam in Canada); and the Webber Creek Dam built for the Eldorado Water Company
near Placerville east of Sacramento.
During the latter part of his career as a dam design specialist he continued to innovate in structural form. In particular,
he sought new ways to minimize the amount of concrete necessary for his designs and thus reduce their construction costs.
As part of this effort he developed "curved-face" multiple arch designs (used at Cave Creek and Anyox) and "triple-arch" designs
(used at Webber Creek) that represent some of the most remarkable examples of reinforced concrete design ever developed in
the United States. It is as a "structural artist" working to implement innovative and efficient water storage designs that
Eastwood
is perhaps best remembered as we approach the 100th anniversary of his first multiple arch dam at Hume Lake. After coming
into professional conflict with John R. Freeman over control of the Big Meadows Dam commission,
Eastwood
was never able to fully overcome the non-technical, so-called "psychological" arguments that Freeman used to cast aspersions
on the distinctive visual character of the multiple arch dam. But
Eastwood's
determination to pursue his work in the face of such opposition nonetheless stands as striking testimony to the power of
his engineering vision.
