Until the late 1950s, the major body of water for residents

of northeast Alabama was the Coosa River, which wove

prominently through the rural landscape of the region. When Alabama

Power Company decided to dam the river in order to build a thirtythousand-

acre reservoir, locals were divided about whether to welcome

the hydroelectricity and potential prosperity or resist losing their land

and proud agrarian heritage. Three years and millions of cubic yards

of earth later, Weiss Lake emerged to alter Cherokee County history

permanently. Post editor and county native Scott Wright presents a

captivating collection of personal recollections and historical vignettes

to illustrate the magnitude of the lake's influence in shaping the future

of the areaand damming its past.
