| In these poems Don Johnson creates a history of the Watauga Valley, form the mythical settlement by the descendants of Duke Allen, through the many floods that inundated the valley down through the decades and justified the building of the Watauga Dam following World War II. The central event in the collection is the drawdown of Watauga Lake which occurred in 1983 and allowed the former residents of the village of Butler, Tennessee to return to their homeplace after it had been under water for over thirty years. Thus Watauga Drawdown becomes a study of the attempts made by the many characters which people this book to recover or create their respective pasts.
