Overview Ratings & Reviews

The stories and photographs in this book chronicle the history of what was once the Obey River Valley. The building of Dale Hollow Dam flooded homes and farms in the closely-knit communities that existed along the shores of the Obey. Those families were uprooted from the homes they loved ... and a way of life. This book wraps itself around those families during the transformation from land to lake and shows the evolution of this wonderful body of water called Dale Hollow.

Praise and Reviews

This book was really interesting and gave a good, well-rounded view of Dale Hollow Lake. The authors' passion on the subject is easily contagious after reading the book. Experiencing Dale Hollow is the best way to get the true feel, but if you can't be there, then reading this book is the next best thing! Anita Speck on Amazon.com

A very good book offering history of the past lives that surrounded the lake before it was constructed. I have visited the lake several times but having this additional information makes it more interesting as we explore new areas based off the information provided within the book. Definitely the cleanest lake I have ever been in on the East side of the United States. Renee L. Clay on Amazon.com
