Additional Description: The Unseen Workers Over 16,000 men and women worked on Hoover Dam. Not all had glamorous jobs. One of the best known workers was "Alabam," who cleaned the numerous latrines around the job site. He is representative of all those who toiled behind the scenes to make the construction of Hoover Dam possible.

"Alabam was probably one of the most important men on the job.....with his good necklace: that roll of toilet papers around his neck." ~Marion Allen, worker
