*2209 - killed*750 - unidentified dead*99- families totally wiped out*1600- homes destroyedThese are just a few of the horrific statistics resultant from the Johnstown Flood of May 31, 1889 which is one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history. My favorite historian, David McCullough, provides a complete description of the event, beginning with the biggest storm in the area's history on May 30 to the aftermath which took years of recovery.Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a steel town, was located in a valley fourteen miles below an earthen dam erected by the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club, a private retreat for the wealthy from nearby Pittsburgh. The club had dammed the area on the mountain to create a large lake for their recreational pleasure and repairs were done periodically as the dam was not structurally sound. The people of Johnstown were in constant fear that the dam would break and when the huge rain storm of May 30 struck the area, their fears became reality. A mountain of water approximately 45 feet high thundered down the valley and Johnstown was doomed.There is so much in this book that it is impossible to give it justice in a review........the loss of families, unbelievable rescues, miraculous escapes, bravery, blame, and the aftermath of the flood. McCullough has done amazing research and, as with all his books, the descriptions will grip the reader. I highly recommend this amazing book.Note: The GR page indicates that I have read this book twice, which I have not.

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
"The Johnstown Flood (or Great Flood of 1889 as it became known locally) occurred on May 31, 1889. It was the result of the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam situated on the Little Conemaugh River 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA, made worse by several days of extremely heavy rainfall. The dam's failure unleashed a torrent of 20 million tons of water (4.8 billion U.S. gallons; 18.2 million cubic meters; 18.2 billion litres) from the reservoir known as Lake Conemaugh. With a volumetric flow rate that temporarily equalled that of the Mississippi River,[2] the flood killed 2,209 people[3] and caused US$17 million of damage (the equivalent of about $425 million in 2012 dollars)." - Wikipedia.Those are the facts and figures. In The Johnstown Flood, David McCullough gives you all as well as the heart and soul of this heinous catastrophe. Behind the numbers and stats, and even the human tragedy, there is an evil lurking here. This horror probably wouldn't have happened if not for a "let them eat cake" attitude by an elite few who wanted to maintain their Summer-fun pleasure palaces on a dammed lake perched precariously above a small town in a narrow valley below. The book on the whole reads like a newspaper feature article or Op-Ed piece that comes out a few weeks after a contentious event where more questions than answers arise after the dust settles. It posits hypotheticals, wondering aloud all the what-ifs the public has been asking. These days your average joe would be hard pressed to give correct details on the Johnstown Flood. The event is fading into memory as time passes and other tragedies occur. McCullough, who excels at these history snippets (See, this and his 1776 for proof. I highly recommend both,) does an excellent job of …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
What a magnificent story of impending doom, all that could be easily avoided were it not for human greed and lack of caring about the "working person" by 19th-century capitalists that built the dam and the mills as well as the managers than ran the town's industry as well as the town itself. An excellent museum of the flood is in Johnstown, too, with a chilling electronic diorama of the disaster as it unfolded. One of my best friends is now a sociologist teaching at UP-Johnstown, where his dissertation on the deindustrialization of the steel industry earned him an interview in the early days of academic positions starting to be hard to come by, and he cinched it! Many of his students are sympathetic to his most radical critique of society as their parents and grandparents had lost those steel mill jobs that were, as typical, replaced by "McJobs" - low income, few/no benefits or security, etc..

It had been a wet spring and there was a lot of rain released by a strange and powerful storm the night before.

It is a part of American history that should be taught as there are so many lessons that can be learned from the Johnstown Flood.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history. I learned so much as I had never heard about this flood before.

Once the world heard about the flood, money and supplies flowed in and the people got to rebuilding after mourning the more than 2,000 souls lost. Even Clara Barton’s Red Cross came to help.
