What exactly happened at the dam that day?
When we tell the story of what happened at the dam May 31, 1889, we draw from first-person accounts from Colonel Elias Unger, the President of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club in 1889, John Parke, a young engineer who had recently arrived to supervise the installation of a sewer, William Y. Boyer, whose title was Superintendent of Lake and Grounds at the South Fork Club, and several others.
