South Fork Fishing and Hunting club with Elizabeth Shope.

On May 31st, 1889. the South Fork dam broke releasing a wall of water hurtling down the valley to Johnstown, PA. On this episode I am once again joined by Elizabeth Shope from the Johnstown Flood National Memorial. We discuss the South Fork fishing and hunting club who was the owner of the lake at the time of the disaster. We discuss some of the powerful members like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. We also discuss the fate of the club in the weeks and months following the Flood.
