Description

The great earthquake that rocked San Francisco lasted just 47 seconds, but it was powerful. Buildings collapsed, streets buckled, & gas shooting out of broken pipes was ignited by smoldering embers from coal stoves. San Franciscans grabbed whatever they could carry & fled to the parks & open areas to escape dangerously unstable buildings. Now, the most famous natural disaster in Amer. history is brought to life through the eyes of 4 young survivors. Their eyewitness accounts capture the great losses & small miracles, the awful suffering & awesome heroics that make up the story of the Great Earthquake & Fire of 1906. Includes detailed paintings, historic photos, artifacts, pictorial maps, diagrams, & informative sidebars & features.
