Northampton, MA 1936 Flood
These photos are of the Connecticut River Valley Flood of 1926. If you want to learn about it, Historic Northampton has a writeup and there is a book written about it by Joshua Shanley. I believe my Grandfather Ervin Putnam took these but it could have been any of my grandparents as they were living in Northampton, MA at the time. If anyone wants to try and get me more precise locations for these photo, I'd really apricate it.
