Flood of 1832 Memories and the Old Pump in Town
Residents recount the 1832 Ohio River flood milestones from five feet below extreme water to the rapid rise on Sunday.

The piece also covers the impact on iron trades, mill stoppages, and wage losses across Ohio Valley mills, including Swift's Works and Newport measures.
