Henderson, David H.

Abstract:

Henderson revisits Mountain Island Lake, which is ten miles west of Charlotte. As a child, he was hired by Duke Power to clear brush around the lake to prevent mosquito breeding. Parts of the lake have changed. The old Highway 16 Bridge is gone. Revolutionary War general William Lee Davidson's nearby plantation has been restored. However, the Mountain Island hydro-electric plant still stands.
