Harry R. Truman, an American businessman, bootlegger, and prospector, owned and managed the Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake near the active volcano in Washington. He became famous for his decision to stay at his lodge despite evacuation warnings before the 1980 eruption, which sadly resulted in his death. Truman’s unwavering commitment to his residence near the mountain was commemorated in a docudrama film and several musical tributes after his passing.
