The Johnstown Flood
Master historian David McCullough brings to life the catastrophic 1889 Johnstown Flood, a tragedy born from Gilded Age ambition and negligence. This account details how a dam, meant to serve an elite resort patronized by America's industrial titans, failed despite ample warnings. The resulting devastation, which claimed over 2,000 lives, serves as a timeless reminder of the consequences of unchecked power and responsibility.
