The Great Cumberland Floods: Disaster in the Queen City
In 1853, thousands fled the rising water; In 1889, two days of torrential rain ravaged the city; And in 1936, the infamous St. Patrick's Day Flood saw a swell of ten feet. Perched on the banks of the Potomac River, the city of Cumberland, Maryland, has been plagued by devastating floods since its foundation. Time and again, deluges have brought the city to its knees. Yet the Queen City has always risen triumphant and undimmed from the raging waters. With this stunning collection of images, historian and author Albert L. Feldstein chronicles the history of Cumberland through its floods and the valiant efforts of its citizens to stem the tide.
