Many Years Ago...
In the waning years of the nineteenth century, the steel barons from Pittsburgh enjoyed a private retreat in the mountains of Cambria County. Known as the South Form Fishing and Hunting Club, the members included Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. Life was easy along the lake until the rains came that day. The storm began on Memorial Day and continued through the night.
