Richard Cook tells us the story of how in 1943 the town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee was established and went from 58,000 acres of farm land to a town of 75,000 people. The town's purpose? To beat Germany to the atomic bomb. Ed Westcott was the one man in Oak Ridge with a camera, and he captured it all. See his pictures HERE.
