The mountain snows melted and the rains came. In 1853, thousands fled the rising water; in 1889, two days of torrential rain ravaged the city; and in 1936, the infamous St. Patrick s Day flood saw a swell of ten feet.

Feldstein chronicles the history of Cumberland through its floods and the valiant efforts of its citizens to stem the tide."
