Description
from the cover: "Earthquakes, steamboat explosions, floods, train wrecks, and other tragedies were a part of everyday life in nineteenth century California."
"Live through a terrifying array of experiences as you read these first person accounts of the major catastrophies of nineteenth century California. It was another time. A place where dangerous travel conditions and natural calamities were just an accepted and normal part of life. More important, observe how the battered and maimed victims picked up the pieces and plunged ahead to build a dynamic new state that took its place in the forefront of our great Union."
by William B. Secrest Jr. & William B. Secrest Sr.
