JIM: The anguish of the Corps displacement 60 years later Writer's parents remember how beautiful the short drive (was it KY 92? Could a bridge or causeway restore the nexus?) from Jamestown to Jabez was before the lake By JIM The diaspora forced by the impoundment of Lake Cumberland created a great deal of anguish, resentment, anger, and hatred among those forced to leave their homes, in many cases, properties that had been in the families for generations. That's been well over sixty years and there's still a lot of those emotions around and the now-few survivors and their descendants. (Same is true for those forced from the Mammoth Cave area, and that was another decade or more earlier.) I've heard both my mother and father speak of what a beautiful drive it was from Jamestown to Jabez, just a few miles as the crow flies (or as the wheel rolled). - JIM. Thanks, JIM: Add to the eminent domain victims those from the Dale Hollow area, from Barren River Reservoir, and the most recent mass displacement, Old Knifley and Green River Valley families. By the way: Does anyone know of reversals, of public land returning to private, and how those those eminent domain get their land back. - EW This story was posted on 2015-01-09 08:42:42
