Harry R. Truman (1896–1980) was a resident of the U.S. state of Washington who lived on the Mount St. Helens volcano. The owner and caretaker of Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake, at the foot of the mountain, he came to brief fame as a folk hero in the months preceding the volcano's 1980 eruption after he stubbornly refused to leave his home despite evacuation orders. He appeared on the front page of The New York Times and The San Francisco Examiner and garnered the attention of National Geographic, United Press International, and The Today Show. Truman is presumed to have been killed by a pyroclastic flow that overtook his lodge and buried the site under 150 ft of volcanic debris. In 1981 he was portrayed by one of his favorite actors, Art Carney, in the docudrama film St. Helens. Two books, a commemorative album, and more than 100 songs were written in Truman's honor, including songs by Headgear and Billy Jonas.
