On February 6, 1985, Michael Kline interviewed Matthew Snyder, Francine Snyder, and Ron Simmons for the Stonewall Jackson Dam Removal Project. Matthew Snyder, a contractor and part-time farmer, has experienced personal loss due to the construction of the Stonewall Jackson Dam, including the displacement of his family’s farms. Francine Snyder, his wife, offers insights into the local resistance and interactions with government officials. Ron Simmons, another local resident, shares his observations about the dam project’s broader impact on the community. The interview covers multiple themes, focusing on the community's opposition to the dam and the social and economic pressures placed on individuals. Matthew Snyder details his frustrations with the environmental and infrastructural changes brought about by the dam construction, particularly highlighting issues such as flooding, poor urban planning, and the deterioration of local buildings. Francine Snyder and Ron Simmons contribute to the conversation by discussing how local resistance was organized, including the role of organizations like the Upper West Fork Watershed Association. The narrators also express their discontent with how large corporations and government bodies handled the acquisition of land, pushing out private owners in favor of industrial interests. Their collective testimony touches on the legal battles, personal conflicts with local authorities, and their ongoing efforts to preserve their way of life against these external pressures.
