Product Information

Lake Cumberland is a premier vacation destination for millions of people each year. Before Lake Cumberland became a recreational paradise, the wild and wondrous Cumberland River ruled the land. With its 1,255 miles of federally protected shoreline, an average depth of 90 feet, and a surface area of more than 60,000 acres, Lake Cumberland is one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States, yet visitors may not realize the storied history that lies beneath the deep water. Although plagued by spring floods, towns and communities prospered along her banks. In an effort to control the Cumberland River and reduce flooding, Wolf Creek Dam was constructed following the Flood Control Act of 1938. With the dam in place, Lake Cumberland began filling in 1951. The dam offered protection to South Central Kentucky, but it drowned or forever changed many thriving towns and communities. Images of America: Around Lake Cumberland shows what life was like along the banks of the Cumberland River before Lake Cumberland was born.

Title: New book shows images of old lake region Author: Chris Harris Publisher: Commonwealth Journal Date: 6/19/2009 People say time machines don’t exist, but they do — they’re called cameras. Snap a photo of a particular moment in time and save it. Wait years down the road, then take another look at the picture. You find yourself in another place and time, swimming in the texture and flavor of a bygone era. That’s the feel of Around Lake Cumberland,” a new book by Pulaski County natives Kris Applegate and Jarenda Miller. Members of the Pulaski County Historical Society, the mother-daughter team put a painstaking effort into crafting a priceless collection of photographs showing how things looked before Wolf Creek Dam formed Lake Cumberland, taking away an entire culture from an era destined to change, yet creating something totally new and wonderful. You can also look and compare the images of the past to those of the present — or at least those that came after the lake was formed, beginning in 1951. Here now both a source of protection from flooding and the lifeblood of the local economy via tourism — but once upon a time, communities like Burnside enjoyed an importance, with grand hotels and status as a traveling hub, that has been long forgotten by many. Throughout our lives, stories about life along the Cumberland River were plentiful,” said Applegate. We grew up listening to these stories and felt like we knew the people and their experiences. However, many of the folks telling these stories have now passed on. This book is an attempt to collect their stories and keep them alive for future generations.” Applegate, a stay-at-home mom and author living near Louisville, and Miller, a self-employed author residing in Burnside, contacted Arcadia Publishing in June 2008. The next year was spent putting the book together — it went on sale on June 15 of this year. Almost as soon as we were given permission to write the book for Arcadia Publishing, we began asking folks to share their old photographs and stories,” said Applegate. We made several trips to stops along the river outside of Burnside and Somerset including Burkesville, Jamestown, Creelsboro, and Marrowbone. The venture was very time consuming, consisting of many in-home visits, scanning photographs, sorting through the data, and writing the book.” The task was challenging, particularly in locating the old photographs, which go back as far as the 19th century, and in obtaining permission to use them. Many of the photos’ original owners have passed on, and that made tracking down their collections and their current owners difficult. Though many individuals were happy to have their prized reminders of the past shared in the book — ”We are so thankful for their generosity,” said Applegate — others were reluctant out of concern that these irreplaceable treasures would be lost or damaged. The hardest photographs to obtain were from the lost communities including Rowena, Swan Pond Bottom and Horseshoe Bottom,” said Applegate. These communities were sacrificed by the building of Wolfe Creek Dam and Lake Cumberland.” Applegate said the book serves as a reminder of the many sacrifices made by earlier generations in a world that lacks the modern conveniences to which we’ve grown so accustomed. Life in the region was difficult to say the least,” said Applegate. It is our hope this book positively preserves the area’s past for the future generations as well as infuse readers with a love and respect for the area.” To celebrate this hymn to Lake Cumberland’s antiquity, The authors will have a book signing at the Grider Hill Boat Dock starting at 10 a.m. on July 4.
