Professor Gale Largey from Mansfield University grew up in St. Marys, Pennsylvania.  During his childhood, he and his grandfather would drive up to Austin in the summertime to view The Austin Dam ruins, which still stand today.

In addition to his video documentary entitled The Austin Disaster, 1911, Gale has authored a coffee-table size book by the same name.

This is also a must-have book if you're an Austinite or interested in Pennsylvania History.  The book is available at the E.O. Austin Home/Historical Society, Austin Dam Memorial Association Park and local businesses in the Community of Austin.  The cost is $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling.  The telephone number of the museum is (814)647-8358.
