Maybe the lake got used to feeding on the blood of the innocent.It sure got a enough tastes over the years.How many have been lost to it deep waters? Some say hundreds,some say thousands,but if I remember history right it's alot more than that I can tell ya.

      Well maybe I will tell you some of the history of this here lake. I already told ya about the beginning.Now let me tell ya some of the tales most people in these parts would sooner forget.

     Like the time during the Civil War ,the fighting around this lake was something fierce,neither Johnny Reb's or those dam Yankees seemed to have an advantage that's till old General Henry Walker decided to send some of his Reb's across this dam lake to get around the backside of Lincoln's boys.Thirty man loaded up some small row boats and set out accross the lake.They rowed for what seemed to them an eternity.When they reached the middle of this dam lake.A strange thing happened waves that came from nowhere stuck the tiny boats. Some were turned over almost instantly spilling men and supplies into to the deep cold waters.The boats not turned over stopped to help the men in the water.That was a big mistake they should have gotten off this lake while the gettin was good.By taken the time to save there fallen friends they gave the lake time to strike again.This lake never wasted a change to grab more victims, no sir. The waters seemed to open and just suck the remaining boats in leaving by gods mercy one boat,two men still on board.That's the way of this lake always leave someone to tell the story,the tale.The two men rowed like the devil himself was chasing them.Made it to the closest shore ,having been on the Yankee side of the lake they were promptly captured ,they ended up in some yankee prison for the rest of the war.They didn't mind they were glad just being alive and the tale of what happened on that day would be ingrained in there hearts forever.
