The “scene” is South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club upriver of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, </p><p> and the “crime” is negligence by the club’s wealthy members to properly maintain the dam that </p><p> created their recreational lake. The victims of the crime were the 2,200 immigrant steelworkers </p><p> and their families who died in the flood of 1889. Though photographs taken of the devastation </p><p> abound, this article focuses on the tycoon club members and reveals the only known photographs </p><p> to be taken of them in their tranquil vacation spot. The legal battles that ensued to find the club </p><p> members liable were unsuccessful and the courts ruled the flood an act of God. The authors </p><p> acknowledge that, because the dam had failed once before, it was “considered by many local </p><p> citizens to be unsafe.” Did these citizens make any attempt to obtain or question safety </p><p> inspections before the flood? Is this a crime or a natural disaster?</p><p>Kinney, Doris G. “After the Flood.” Life May 1989: 144-48. InfoTrac General Reference Center Gold. Gale. </p><p>Glenbrook North H.S. Lib., Northbrook, IL. 23 July 2002 <http://infotrac.galegroup.com/>. The article </p><p> reveals several never before published accounts by survivors of the Johnstown flood that convey the </p><p> overwhelming power of the raging river and the everlasting fear it engendered. These accounts may be </p><p> useful in the introduction of my paper to encourage the reader to relate to the event and its victims. </p><p>Though several familiar statistics are included, one that surprised me is that 99 entire families were lost. </p><p>Kinney highlights the “greatest outpouring of charity this nation had ever seen” but fails to mention </p><p> whether any of the tycoon club members contributed funds.</p>
