One of the most famous natural catastrophes in American history is recounted through the eyes of four young survivors in this incredible account. Great losses, small miracles, awful suffering, and awesome heroics all contribute to the unforgettable story of the Great Earthquake and fire of 1906. Dramatic paintings, archival photographs, and maps complement the compelling narrative—which featured the curator of the Virtual Museum of the City of San Francisco as a historical consultant—creating an accurate introduction to this monumental day.
