Download or read book The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937 written by James E. Casto and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time settlers first pushed into the Ohio Valley, floods were an accepted fact of life. After each flood, people shoveled the mud from their doors and set about rebuilding their towns. In 1884, the Ohio River washed away 2,000 homes. In 1913, an even worse flood swept down the river. People labeled it the "granddaddy" of all floods. Little did they know there was worse yet to come. In 1937, raging floodwaters inundated thousands of houses, businesses, factories, and farms in a half dozen states, drove one million people from their homes, claimed nearly 400 lives, and recorded $500 million in damages. Adding to the misery was the fact that the disaster came during the depths of the Depression, when many families were already struggling. Images of America: The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937 brings together 200 vintage images that offer readers a look at one of the darkest chapters in the region's history.

Excerpt: ... freely over its bed on a declivity of one foot per mile; and requiring S64,000,000 cubic feet per day, nearly eight times the quantity we have assumed to be abundant for the Ohio slackvvater! To controvert successfully, the opinion that there will always be an ample supply of water on the Ohio slackwater, should it ever be constructed, something more than a bare assertion to the contrary, with a mere reference to an inapplicable example, is looked for. In the present state of the discussion, the writer thinks he will be sustained by the judgment of every candid examiner, in the opinion that thisJirst objection, namely, want of water for the lock and dam system, has no reliable foundation. The question of water supply is a very important one, and we have endeavored in this case to put it to a severe test. 2. The second objection is, that the dams though only 8 feet high from pool to pool, will cause a vast increase in the elevation of the great floods, and consequently seriously damage property along the river, and destroy cities, mills, &c, &c Much stress has been laid upon this objection: so much, indeed, that Mr. Morris has ventured to announce an opinion that it is fatal to the plan. Granting nothing in this stage of the question on this point, the great practical question to be decided is, will such dams create any material additional rise in times of high freshets ? Mr. Morris has, to some extent, investigated it, but he confines his observations mainly to the, results of a particular case, on the Potomac River, and to one particular flood. He presents a profile of that river, showing the flood line of an 18 feet flood, and its effect with an 18 feet dam; from which it appears, that (he increased rise at the upper end of the pool...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Flood of 1884 in the Ohio Valley: The Rise and Fall of the Waters From Pittsburgh to Cairo, With Accounts of the Destruction of Property, and Incidents by Eye-Witnesses and Sufferers; Together With Useful and Important Information and Statistics, Also, the Work of the Gallipolis Relief Co A new leaf must be added to the history of our country; not a pleasant one, but one of the saddest and most calamitous with which our people have ever been visited. It is not our purpose, in adding this leaf, to enter into exhaustive details, and dwell at great length upon the hundreds and thousands of sad but interesting incidents in connection therewith, but to present, in a brief and comprehensive form, an account of The Great Flood that rendered desolate, for the time being, the beautiful Ohio Valley, extending from Pittsburgh to Cairo. It is a calamity, the like of which no living man ever saw before in this Valley or that of the Mississippi. Nor is there any well defined tradition handed down by the aborigines of any such occurrence during the ages the country must have been occupied by them. The widespread ruin it has wrought it will take years to repair, and thousands will never be able to resurrect their industries nor recuperate their fallen fortunes. We trust that it may not be the fate of the inhabitants of this Valley to ever again be compelled to cope with such a combination of circumstances as produced it. During the preceding month of January we experienced the severest and most intense cold of the century. There were several heavy snow storms extending over a vast extent of territory, embracing New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
