Zone Policeman 88; a close range study of the Panama canal and its workers
"Zone Policeman 88; a close range study of the Panama canal and its workers" by Harry A. Franck is a non-fiction book published in 1913. Franck, a successful travel writer, took a three-month job as a police officer in the Panama Canal Zone to document the lives of workers building this engineering marvel. Working undercover and performing various duties including census-taking, he captured intimate portraits of the men operating steam shovels, handling
dynamite, and constructing the massive locks that would change global commerce. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
