At 8:32am, Sunday, May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted in Washington State with the explosive force of more than 20 million tons of TNT. It remains the most deadly and economically destructive volcanic eruption in the history of the United States.
When author Shirley Rosen first heard the news, her immediate thoughts were of her 83-year-old uncle, Harry Truman, who owned the 50-acre Mt. St. Helens Lodge resort on the shores of Spirit Lake. Drawing from interviews and memories of working at Truman's lodge, Shirley Rosen tells the story of this American folk hero.
When the mountain gave warnings of impending danger, Truman defiantly refused to leave his home of 55 years. Truman's story remains a Northwest original.
