We built dams in the brook so we could have a place to swim. We didn't
have no "cement pond" to swim in, if we wanted to swim we had to find a
good place in the brook to dam up and swim there. There is still on place
in Putney where they swim at a dammed up brook. You should see those
millionaires sons at the school where I work, they love to go there to
swim. I no longer care for it as it's too cold. Ruth

Rudy,
The dirt pile predates the dam era... the dam era was certainly a hydraulic
project and went on for several seasons, summer into winter. We had blue
clay, skeeters, crayfish, pollywogs, mayflies and algae to look after. A
great deal of canal building and excavation of springs. Spring storms would
usually wipe out all our work. The dam work was where I got started piling
stones atop other stones.

Yes, seems I have several indirect relatives, western NY Seneca, who were
displaced from their homes from like flooding.
