This is indeed a neat story, and struck a chord with me because I watched Carters Dam being built and the lake filling during the late 1960s and early 1970s. I know about a couple of cementeries that are supposed to be down there, and part of an old sawmill that my grandfather owned is probably still down there, too. The only quibble I have with the Jocassee story is saying Jocassee is the "deeper than any of the other lakes in the southeast". I'm not sure what he includes in this set of lakes, or what part of a lake he calls deepest, but Carters, in northwest Georgia, is 450 feet deep according to the Army Corps of Engineers.
