This view of Glen Onoko Falls near what was then the small town of Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania (present-day Jim Thorpe) depicts an area that has barely changed since Brown visited over one hundred years ago. Glen Onoko, named after a young Native American woman who jumped from the Falls due to unrequited love, was the home of the massive Hotel Wahnetah and a resort, both built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad in the 1880
