*An old legend goes that Fisherman's Lake was created centuries ago when doves, tired by a long flight, sank down at evening and started to scratch the moist soil. They found water, and at last the lake appeared. But when the slave traders came, the doves left and the place was pervaded by evil. Yet a prophecy promised that when the doves returned, so would the good times. One day in 1941 a huge silvery Pan Am seaplane came circling over the water. The oldest chief squinted and declared: "The doves have come."
