A History of Weiss Lake
Angebote / Angebote:
Until the late 1950s, the major body of water for residents
of northeast Alabama was the Coosa River, which wove
prominently through the rural landscape of the region. When Alabama
Power Company decided to dam the river in order to build a thirtythousand-
acre reservoir, locals were divided about whether to welcome
the hydroelectricity and potential prosperity or resist losing their land
and proud agrarian heritage. Three years and millions of cubic yards
of earth later, Weiss Lake emerged to alter Cherokee County history
permanently. Post editor and county native Scott Wright presents a
captivating collection of personal recollections and historical vignettes
to illustrate the magnitude of the lake's influence in shaping the future
of the areaand damming its past.
