The Club That Spawned The Johnstown Flood | Retracing History Episode 67

The Johnstown Flood was the worst tragedy to befall the United States during its Gilded Age (1870-1896). Its root cause may be found within the Allegheny Mountains, where a massive lake used by the exclusive South Fork Fishing & Hunting Club once existed. Some of America's most influential characters of the time, including Andrew Carnegie, had membership in this club. Today we explore what survives of this one-time resort and discover how it contributed to the loss of over 2,000 lives.

My family has lived(and still lives) in Johnstown for generations. My great great grandfather was born the day of the flood. The story is that his mother was pushed on a floating matress while in labor to safety. He was named Flood Rhodes.

Excellent reporting my wife's family us from out that way. I remember the family elders recounting stories of the flood in the '90s
