Johnstowns Flood of 1889

Power Over Truth and The Science Behind the Disaster

More about the book

Delving into the catastrophic 1889 Johnstown flood, the book uncovers how powerful industrial elites manipulated the initial investigation, obscuring the true cause of the disaster that claimed over 2,200 lives. By integrating eyewitness accounts and historic documents with modern LiDAR, GPS, and hydraulic studies, it reinterprets the events surrounding the flood. Additionally, it features a significant chapter on the lesser-known "Forgotten Dam" in Hollidaysburg, PA, enhancing the narrative of this historical tragedy.
