Sunken History of Lake Martin: The Forgotten Community of Kowaliga
After the Civil War, a freed slave named John Benson founded a community of farmers in the Kowaliga Creek. His son, an educated young black man, had a vision of turning the farming settlement into a prosperous and enterprising community. Instead, the short history of the community abruptly ends in 1916, when a power company announces the building of a dam. #LakeMartin #KowaligaCommunity #JohnBenson #WilliamBenson #KowaligaCreek #TallapoosaRiver More to Watch: America’s Lakes and Their Hidden Dangers • America’s Lakes and Their Hidden Dangers Vanport: Portland’s Dark Sunken History • Portland’s Dark History: Sunken City of Va...
