Talk:Stockbridge Bowl

Latest comment: 14 years ago by Orlady in topic Dam

New article as of today. Most information (six of the total 12 sentences) is from "Stockbridge Bowl Association" Web site. I've only referenced this source one time in body of article, however.

Oddly, an editor tagged this article as unreferenced, despite the five separate sources.
I've removed the tag.

Unincorporated but usable reference regarding 34-room "cottage??" Well, they called Shadowbrook a "cottage" too....[[1]]

Dam

edit
Unresolved question is historical "lake." That there is a dam is very clear from sources and photos.
But source isn't strong, that damn was built in late 1880's or whenever. Supposedly is 20 feet high and lake is 50 feet deep.
Personally, I imagine that dam merely raised level of lake, wich existed previously......There are not sources indicating that lake didn't exist prior to construction of dam......If it did, this could add legitimacy to notion that "Ye Olde Indians" did indeed name the lake Mahekarena....... or whatever........
One knows, subjectively from various info, that early 20th Cent. romantics liked to assign fake Indian names willy nilly.

Well, when you created the article, you described it as an "impounded lake," which implies reservoir (that's why I moved it to the reservoirs category). This Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game webpage also calls it a reservoir. --Orlady (talk) 17:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
